Nonsense. All capitalists are human, and thus they have every say in the world in how they choose to do business. Most these days just choose to do business in an inhumane and unethical way. That doesn't mean the problem is with the system, merely with the people in the system. Put the same people in a different system and they would be just as inhumane, unethical, and greedy. The change has to come on the level of the people, not the system. > Any voice protesting will be > crushed as long as this system survives. Nonsense again. That's the "gotta blame somebody" victim mentality speaking. There are lots of capitalists out there doing business in an ethical and life-supporting manner. No one has succeeded in "crushing" them. These kinds of rhetoric are, in my experience, spouted as an alternative to actually doing things a different way. > Thats why I gather that > enough is enough; capitalism has outlived itself; leads to > unstability, suffering and hunger and has to go. Just like > Maharishi said it would. And you're going to replace it with what, exactly? *Whatever* you choose to replace it with, if the people using the system are so out of touch with reality and eternity and their own humanity to abuse capitalism, they are certainly going to abuse the new system as well. The system has not been invented that cannot be perverted to serve the greedy. The problem is not with the system; the problem is to a larger extent with the people who blame the system rather than just living their own lives a different way. Maharishi blames capitalism and then runs an organiz- ation that is the *epitome* of greedy, uncaring, monop- olistic capitalism gone wild. It's sheer hypocrisy. I say let those who claim to have a Better Idea for how the world should be run demonstrate that idea by living it. Until they do, they're just one more set of people bitching instead of doing anything to change the way things are.
