I appreciate Michael's support and to be clear no one is arguing on behalf of capitalism. I don't support a take-no-prisoners approach though. I believe some classes of capitalists (the financiers) are much more destructive than others and I think it is important to recognize these distinctions within the capitalist class between the lesser and greater evils. I understand Louis does not agree with such an attitude and well, so be it. We don't have to agree on everything. -raghu. -- Eat the rich, the poor are tough and stringy. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
