I am starting to wonder if Capitalism will have the same result as the Socialist model.

Capitalism, big capitalism is long gone. Communism is just about gone. The whole planet is going global like it or not, and the rules are being made up as we go. Hang onto the Constitution and don't allow any further amendments no matter what: it's our only anchor.

But they are eroding that by the day as well! "He who has the gold makes the rules" I guess this will never change because we are truly such a limited species.

Can someone tell me what the value is of "I Love you"?
I am sure that some corpo
ration has worked it out to 69 cents + current production costs + advertising + legal fees
+ n^x degree.

What about the simple dignity of ANY of us putting in a hard days work to earn our pay? To feel USEFUL?

I have read of a drug that supresses sleep with apparently (yea, right) no ill effects. You could stay awake all week, sleep Friday night, then wake Saturday morning; feeling as if you had not missed any sleep all week. If long term testing of this drug can accomplish this with an acceptable level of psycosis/violent acts, or if it can be re-encoded into the human genome - Think of the productivity gains! I can imagine the CEO's salivating of the "un-met needs of consumers" at 2-5 am.

I am just saying that America had this crap back in the 1800's. Monoplies, Robber barons, all that crap. If you invent the cure to cancer - May you have fortunate beyond (that guy who wrote all that software..Arghhhh..LINUX BAD...JIM, gasp,,,NOT A COMMIE, 'When in the course of events, it becomes necessry...)

I need to read for awhile and learn somethings....
