>From an article by Eric Fredricksen in Seattle's Stranger alternaweekly <http://www.thestranger.com/archive/847/FEATURES/>. Policed banality in the name of consumer sovereignty! <quote> A growing movement among city governments and developers, often reacting to the annoyances created by urban drunks and panhandlers, seeks to replace public inactivity, whether on sidewalks or in parks, with convenient and efficient public motion. Commerce displaces idling; sidewalk-sitting is bann ...

Just a comment - to a European (well, actually I'm an expat Canadian but after nigh on 30 years here...) this sort of prominence of religion looks very very strange indeed. Yanks and Iranian Mullahs?

Wall Street Journal - August 27, 1999 WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FED? By Lawrence Kudlow, chief economist at Schroder & Co. and at CNBC.com, and author of "American Abundance: The New Economic and Moral Prosperity" (Forbes, 1998). Now that the Federal Open Markets Committee has raised interest rates for what we hope will be the last time this year, it's time to stop obsessing about Fed policy and turn to what's really important in today's economy. Thanks to a combination of pos ...

Hey this Jackson Hole thing is one of the highlights of the ruling class calendar. Central bankers, financiers, and elite journalists, all inflating each others' egos and planning the world. That's one kind of planning. Doug

39747 Luke 6:35 & the Jews -- rank: 1000

[This bounced as a nonmember submission, but it's so scarily weird I had to forward it. Luke 6:35 says: "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil." I guess this is credit gratuit adapted to the land where it says "In God We Trust" on the money. What's the story with the Jews murdering Lincoln?] From: "books" ...

39749 Stratfor -- rank: 1000

A couple of people asked me to summarize my interview with Mr Stratfor, George Friedman, last night. Like Merrill Lynch, Friedman is bullish on America. He thinks our economy & empire are mighty. I asked him if he thought the American Century was going to last into the 21st, and he said that it'd be the beginning of the American millennium. He also thinks: *Latin America is where Asia was in the early 70s - poised for a takeoff. *Asia's got serious problems - overaccumulation of capital with ...
