Caspar Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] remarked:
Michael Spencer recently noted (on the futurework listserv) the
sociopathic nature of the publicly-held corporation. The correct word
is sociopath ("a person who lacks social or moral responsibility
because of a mental illness"- World Book
the first corporation to own
and implement such a model is highly likely to own it all after a few
ticks of the clock.

Eva remarked:
Should we not first analyse what's wrong with the ideologies we have
so far?
John Ralston Saul's book, _The Unconscious Civilization_, was on the
Toronto Globe Mail bestseller list for somthing like a year and a
half, yet I don't recall that anyone has mentioned or quoted him

(I know what Jay would say and he'd be right: totally insane to create
fiat rivets to pay people to double the rate at which *real* rivets
get pulled just so the rivet bookkeeping will stay in balance and crew
will be able to "pay" for their eats instead of go
ad. I dunno how it'd play out as a multiperson exercise
on the net and it looks at, rather than dumps, the word you wanted
to dump. But then, you asked for lateral somthing-or-other. :-)

jay I have long been ambivalent about the MAI. These kinds of

jay transnationals, which is something national governments can

The problem with the MAI is that it commits signatories *not* to
