And I chose it because it's a nice project to civilize the center. Sometimes it even feels better than hopeless. And don't forget (Grundrisse, pp. 409-410): "Thus capital creates the bourgoies society, and the universal appropriation of nature as well as of the social bond itself by the members of society.

U.S. Town Sees GIs as Real Victims in Iraq Abuse Sat May 8, 8:04 AM ET By Cyrille Cartier CUMBERLAND, Md. (Reuters) - For many in the sleepy town of Cumberland, home of the military company at the heart of the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal, the U.S. soldiers are the real victims and the Iraqis had it coming. In bars, shops and throughout the town of 21,000 people, residents gathered on Friday to watch Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld testify to Congress about the abuses that involved soldiers fr ...

It was smelly stuff, not for real Americans, only wops and other furriners. I think it was hard to get broccoli until the 1960s - also "Italian."

Joseph Wanzala quoted: >That is right. The movement failed to answer those questions. But >why blame that on young activists??? The fault for that lay squarely >on the shoulders of progressive / left intellectuals One of our point is that we should try to erase this distinction - that activists should think, and intellectuals, act. Separation of the roles degrades both thought and action. Doug

21639 [lbo-talk] the lunatic fringe weighs in -- rank: 1000
For those desperately searching for bearish analysis. Hunt disappeared from respsectable analytic circles about 10 years ago. He'd told the WSJ in one of those "year ahead" surveys that interest rates would decline in, I think, 1994. Instead the Fed tightened, causing the Mexican crisis. Contacted for the next year's crystal ball session, Hunt explained, "I didn't make a mistake. The Fed did." >9:27p ET Friday, May 7, 2004 > >Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: > >Th ...

21642 [lbo-talk] Middle America reacts -- rank: 1000
[well not exactly, as you'll see, but here's a post to the Cultural Studies list in response to an anxiously offered query from a Canadian as to why the predominantly American list was so silent on Iraq news] Oh, but it's an academic listserv. Our foreheads slope a bit less than that of the average American. (joke) Has anyone considered the possibility that we USians are still in a state of shock? It's true for me, at least. I just don't know what to think. I've been a soldier in Military I ...

Reuters: >Rumsfeld said there were many more photographs and video tapes that >have not been published showing cruel and sadistic acts by U.S. >personnel. Of course, the reason that creeps like Bush & Rummy don't like to apologize (though Bush apologized not for what people under his command did, but for the "humliation" felt by Iraqis) is that they fear it weakens their authority and prestige.
