Yoshie:
What do you think are stress points today?
clearly one concerns the distribution of income and the distribution of medical benefits. Class differences are getting worse. I guess I could go further. But again, the key is to avoid crude empiricism (what the polls say) and to figure out the conflicts which are coming down the line... -- Jim Devine / "The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society." -- Karl Marx.
