"You won’t see any branches of the Sierra Club in Watts or Harlem."

Obvious but caught my attention.

"Thus, when they graduate they find that their ideology and 'education' has made them superfluous to the cultural, intellectual and economic needs of the progressive economy that nurtured them. Having been made psychologically unfit for physical work, and painfully aware of their own intellectual inadequacies, they will become progressively alienated. In short, they won't feel needed. But what they mean by needed, however, is being put into positions in which they can exercise power and influence. The kind of positions that only a Soviet-like state could provide."

That about sums up my University of Michigan education. Thanks to the promptings from girl friend who was in the Israli Army, I joined the infantry to, as she suggested, get my head pulled out of my azz.

It worked.

It might be a bit long, but lets see if this great quote will work for a tag line.

>Where the old left still believe in the virtues of a centrally planned economy...

Well, the business right
believes the same thing, but more.
Federal Reserve

"gate keepers" manage
the money, everything else
is managed either

by a CEO,
or by a focus group run
by a business group

made of CEOs...
All the practical trappings
of socialism

have been re-packaged
and rolled out to triumph as
corporatism.

*This essay was first published several years ago.

I thought it was familiar. The same Brooks posted this just last April

Actually , that's fine, it should be printed and left on every windshield in the country.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.


If this is taxes with reprsentation
Give me taxes without representation
I much prefer a tax on tea!
Instead of everything else.

Amory Lovins: "It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap abundant energy because of what we might do with it."

We had one - nuclear energy - and the Greens killed it by scare tactics.
