7612 [lbo-talk] Mann+Wally+Todd -- rank: 46

Can respond now that I'm getting the digests again. Actually, I'm more interested in Manns' (and others') general "perspectives on empire", etc., but I was struck by the way Mann zeroed in on the U.S.-Israel connection. I would think that the crude (in a literal, and not ...

Not much in the lbo archives about Michael Mann's new book, "Incoherent Empire", except a null comment from m.p. From the introduction: "I am not alone in arguing that the new imperialists [whom Mann identifies basically as the neocon crowd] exaggerate American powers. Like 'world system theorists', the French ...

Margaret, I'm sorry, but I have no use for this love of the Second Amendment. Even if the Hungarians had had guns, they would still have been mowed down. I just saw the numbers. We have 13.5/100,000 persons dead from guns per year in the US. The ...
