As for current topics in India, they are the 5 blasts, the economic
sanctions, the jingoism, the effects on the IT sector,
China-India-Pakistan
relationship, the warm welcome given to Junoon a Pakistani pop group in
Delhi, and the tough talk of the present government.
Quoth our honorable moderator:
When a dictator falls to popular forces we seem to always get the same
dreary outcome. From the Philipines to South Africa to Haiti, leaders
come to the fore spouting slogans of people power, only to fall in line
with the forces of neo-liberalism.

I tried to send the following to the list yesterday. For some mysterious
reason, it wasn't posted even though it didn't bounce back to me as
undeliverable. Strange.
But, before returning to the original issue under discussion, I want to
disagree somewhat with Paul Z: indeed there are certain

Last night I heard Barry Commoner speak on "The Economic Origins of the
Environmental Crisis" at NYC's Brecht Forum. Although I suspect that much
of the talk was a rehash of "The Closing Circle," it was useful to be
reminded of his arguments, since nothing has changed basically since the
book was

Barkeley, while attempting to cool tempers, just poured more fuel on the

Look, Louis had said some nasty things to me personally and on pen-l at

This has to stop! I contacted Louis yesterday and asked him not to respond to
Jerry's last post. He graciously agreed. We have better things to do than
engage in flame wars.
As I understand, this is the sort of behavior that ended the marxism lists.
Please, Jerry, on all other subjects you
I agree with Louis' post in all respects except one: Louis suggests that
Commoner would resist swallowing the "big pill" that the profit motive must
go. I think that Commoner would thoroughly accept that idea [an has in the
past] unless he has changed his mind in recent years.
I should confess
I think the PEN-L prefix enables me to easily distinguish between this
list and the much less useful PKT. But then again, I would rather suffer
through PKT posts to get to pen-l posts if it meant losing people.

There were furious complaints before when a software upgrade removed the
pen-l from the header. I, for one, appreciate the new headers.

By the way, I forgot to mention why Ward Churchill never showed up the
other week at his speaking engagement at the Brecht Forum. Last night I ran
into Sam Anderson, who was collecting money at the door of the Brecht Forum
for the Barry Commoner meeting. I asked him if he ever found out why Ward

Important questions have arisen whether India will be able to weather the
