Don't disagree w/ this either.
Mebbe the nitty-gritty is that we are simply a reprehensible species, and
iffin you don't like it, find another one!
Cats, mebbe?

It has always struck me that one of the pillars of economic theory, the
supply/demand curve, is actually a mathematical/analytic formulation of our
intrinsic willingness to extort each other--built right in to our effing
socio-economic foundation/model! What a plan...

Almost makes Cheney's becoming a billionaire off Iraq, Bloomberg's (mayor of
NYC) *buying* of the office as if he were shopping at Nordstrom's, and other
examples, seem OK.

Which is why I can only seek jobs where I can stand up all day....

This **** is being engineered, choreographed, albeit w/ our own oblivious

And maybe it is all, ultimately inevitable.




Ya, it's inevitable, because if a society goes "conservative" and tries
to keep things the way they are, that society then, over time, will no
longer be able to compete with societies/economies that do change.

Your "social/economic Darwanism" is an apt term and I do think it holds
because it mimics nature.

Nature herself is cruel to the ones that cannot/will not adapt. Very
cruel.
