I'm not sure what current situation you think is
relevant, however, the one that really needs stomping on is the
incredible greed that fuels crises such as the widespread savings and loan
fiasco that WE ARE ALL PAYING FOR that just coincidently sprang up
coast-to-coast like an invasion of thistle in our wonderful unregulated
garden.
Is this the kind of dialog that you want to perpetuate ? Do not
pretend that our problems are caused by our so-called welfare state. The
evil trend is a shrinking middle class and a growing poverty class. If
you think that
this is happening because some people are just plain lazy, fine. If you
think that I.T. should not be a part of publicly funded education and
community development, fine. If you distrust the EFF, fine. Just stop the
bullshit now.
