Brilliant -- ain't it the  TRUTH (or at least 99% of it)!

P.S. When I was in Tokyo recently, I had dinner with one of my oldest  
friends in the land of the rising sun.  He excitedly showed me the recent  
Japanese translation of Hilaire Belloc's 1913 "The Servile State."  He had  no 
idea that Belloc was McLuhan's mentor or that this book was a manifesto for  
the 1930s Distributist League.  AH, SO!! was his response and together we  
are working on the Japanese launch of DIGITAL distributism, which now needs  
its own "economic democracy" manifesto.  Next stops: Seoul, Kuala  Lumpur and 
Taipei.
