Re: OT: the political economy of energy distribution

Yikes!  Even with grand illustrations of failure why is it not recognized that the prime survival instinct in every living thing runs contrary to communistic ideology?  The romance of homogenous equality goes right out the window as soon as the have-nots become haves.  Isn't "Animal Farm" on the required reading list in schools anymore?  For the latest example look no further than Zimbabwe and their accelerating 1000%+ inflation from Mugabe's Orwellian-style redistribution of land resources.   Tuesday, January 1, 2002 ...1 US Dollar = 57.34300 Zimbabwe Dollar Wednesday, January 1, 2003 ... 1 US Dollar = 57.14500 Zimbabwe Dollar Thursday, January 1, 2004 ... 1 US Dollar = 818.520 Zimbabwe Dollar Saturday, January 1, 2005 ... 1 US Dollar = 5,600.10 Zimbabwe Dollar Sunday, January 1, 2006 ... 1 US Dollar = 82,902.0 Zimbabwe Dollar Thursday, May 18, 2006 ... 1 US Dollar = 101,874 Zimbabwe Dollar   Perhaps just a cynical viewpoint, but humanity organized  >>anything<<  is the few looking to control the many for the benefit of the self appointed elite; religion, politics, sex, work, play, etc.   -john     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 1:42 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT: the political economy of energy distribution In a message dated 5/11/2006 4:51:04 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In the 24th century there is no need for money in Gene Roddenberry's world of Star Trek.
