what a nice word , Dave, corporate whores,! been watching a documentary about Corporate America,
after the financial world crisis, induced by the G gekko's, laws are refined nowadays to prevent the greenspan mechanism to occur again, corporate America is now switching to buying in physikally on all availiable agrocultural ground wordwide, to hold it hostage until the prices go up. As long as it is abroad, the crisis that will follow on top of the pyramid, is also abroad.Nice. as an aside. greetzz, Adrie 2010/10/25 david buchanan <[email protected]> > > Platt asked: > Was Pirsig intellectually lazy and dishonest in generalizing that > capitalism was superior to socialism? > > > dmb says: > > Is Platt being intellectually lazy and dishonest in reporting what Pirsig > says about capitalism and socialism?
