In the historical view, cultural ignorance is more than the absence of knowledge. It is also the result of long term cultural and political struggle. Since the industrial revolution, the struggle has been between capital and workers. Capital won in America and spread its successful tactics worldwide. Now we watch global capitalism wreck the world and attempt to stay ahead of that wreckage clutching its profits. A subservient world kneels before it, praying that planet destroying jobs will fall their way. Will unrestrained global capitalism, with all the power and momentum on its side and motivated purely by machinelike harvesting of profits, reduce the faceless masses in its path to slavery? Does a duck shit in a pond?
Meanwhile, here we are, American riders on the short bus, barreling into the Grand Canyon. With typical American gunpoint optimism, we’ve convinced ourselves we’re in an airplane. A few smarter kids in the back whisper about hijacking and turning the bus around. But the security cop riding shotgun just strokes his taser and smiles.

Let me reiterate what Allan said above:
“CAR: Hey, kudos to you for maintaining your decorum throughout the discussion.”
Yup, your decorum.
Cuz nobody else here has chosen to make comments about personal details.
Just you.[/quote]
Fair point. I’m sorry for jabbing at you with this comment.

No problem CAR, and for what it’s worth, I don’t really have anything personal against you.
I don’t know specifically much about you – nor do I really want to know. We clearly disagree about a lot of things on this forum and the discussion get pretty heated. Nevertheless, I suspect that where it really matters in life – in your profession, as a parent, etc. – you are a genuinely ethical person.
(I feel the same way about most of the Piggs, even the Realtors!)
June 19, 2012 at 10:02 PM #746138ParticipantThank you, Pri.
June 20, 2012 at 4:16 AM #746141GuestYou can call me Harvey.
Do you guys really think my name is “pri” ?

No – but I thought perhaps you were a big invisible rabbit seen only by Jimmy Stewart.June 20, 2012 at 10:30 AM #746150GuestI never heard of that movie before. 8 stars on IMDB. Might have to check it out…

ParticipantIts a classic
June 20, 2012 at 10:55 AM #746152ParticipantThird the movie recommendation. It’s a good one.
As for the name thing, I just hate change. That’s why I keep calling scaredycat by his old name, too (though he had other names before that one, as well).
