Earlier, I was concerned about Neil's sectarian posts, but the sentiment
on the list overruled me. Attacking Jim so soon after his death was
certainly in bad taste, showing a great deal of insensitivity. Louis's
response to Neil, referring to him as sectarian vermin was certainly over
the top.
This was quite a reply to the critique of nat-lib/Blaut from Louis P!
Ah, What splendid profundity shown for his political trend!

Voters Clearly Punched 'No' To War on Drugs

The results of the presidential vote may be ambiguous, but one clear

We are hoping to be number one in the world for sin taxes. With all the

hopelessly dependent upon sin. Of course politicians have no problem with
this since they just love contradictory policies. They can virtuously

thank you for your excellent post, yoshie. your essay and the web site

your post gives me a good start.

i agree. if Ralph sticks to his message, disseminates it via the internet

New Economy: A Modern Tragedy Worthy of Plato
