uvj at vsnl.com wrote: >Hierarchies have always existed, within each nation-state and >internationally. Can we say hierarchy = empire? But this is much more systematic - look at the structure of international bodies: WB/IMF dominated by the rich countries, U.S. has blocking but not determining vote; NATO, a US-dominated institution for keeping Europe in line; the UN Security council, with 5 veto members. Or international currencies, with the US dollar at the center (that position now under ...

17968 [lbo-talk] whipping cures mental disorders -- rank: 1000
[When I was in Italy in 1976, I heard a story from a guy who said he'd been bicycling on Sardinia and rode past a mental hospital. On the hospital grounds, a female patient was tied to a tree, and three shrinks in white coats were slapping her, saying, "You're *not* the Virgin Mary!" Ever since, I've been tempted to recommend a trip to Sardinia for certain neurotics I know. Now this approach receives some confirmation from Siberia.] <http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/90/360/15176_whi ...
