17987 [lbo-talk] Fwd: New from DIRELAND: DeLay's Schiavo Hypocrisy: He Let His Own Father Be Snuffed by "An Act of Barbarism:" -- rank: 1000
DIRELAND - March 27, 2005 <http://direland.typepad.com/direland/2005/03/schiavo_delays_.html> DeLAY'S SCHIAVO HYPOCRISY--HE LET HIS OWN FATHER BE SNUFFED BY 'AN ACT OF BARBARISM' Today's Los Angeles Times unearths the story of Tom DeLay's father, who was in a serious accident--and when doctors told the then young Congressman and his family that the elder DeLay would "basically be a vegetable" (as the Congressman's aunt told the L.A. daily), the family took the decision to withhol ...

17990 [lbo-talk] the Heritage/WSJ Freedom index is meaningless -- rank: 1000
An LBO special report: the Heritage/WSJ Freedom Index is absolutely meaningless: <http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/FreedomIndex.html>. Every year since 1995 they've put this thing out, to great interest and satisfaction on the right. Too bad it's absolutely useless! Doug

17994 [lbo-talk] NYT: "Too Much Capital" -- rank: 1000
Max B. Sawicky wrote: >Yes, but some capital is non-hierarchical and >some hierarchy does not spring from capital. I agree with the second part, but not the first. What's capital if it's not hiearchical? Machinery is owned by capitalist and worked by proles; money capital represents the proceeds of SV extraction and is ultimately a claim on the time of workers.
