35551 Valid Conspiracy Theory: the Bourgeois finesse -- rank: 1000
Charles Brown wrote: >Why do you think dictatorship and "conspiracy" are simpler than open >and obvious ?

35553 Valid Conspiracy Theory -- rank: 1000
Charles Brown wrote: >That is a great irony of the U.S. dictatorship. It's not a dictatorship. That's too simple. It's a lot more complicated than that.

Ditto freedom of organization. We can vote. We can find out what the hell is going on. Yet the ruling class continues to rule. In extreme mome ...

Charles Brown wrote: >I am just realizing that there are a whole bunch of people on this >list who are energetically trying to squash thinking of the normal >and regular operations of the U.S. government Wait a second. "Conspiracy" suggests plans concocted by a handful of people in complete secrecy. The policies of the U.S. government are the product of elite machinations, partly constrained by quasi-democratic procedures - but an elite that consists of corporate executives, f ...

35562 Benneton does death row -- rank: 1000
[bounced bec of an attachment] From: Mattcapri at aol.com Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:42:40 EST Apparently Benneton has, gone beyond its Big Blue Marble ad aproach and is now a 96 page insert featuring death row inmates. I am going to try to get a hold of this thing. I realize this may be a heavily chewed over subject, but I found this article in the most recent Advertising Age. Nothing about this in Brandweek, and Adweek is absent from the library. http://adage.com/news_and_features/ad_review/ar ...
