Thanks for participating in "Capitalism Sucks!!!!"
Twas a fun thread and it avoided name calling.

Full of good people arguing their positions. It's discussions like that which add value to a discussion board. It's nice that we can all dissagree and have a little fun with an issue. What this country is missing is candid conversation.

It;s one of the few times I think we've had one on here w/o it going over the top.

GREAT JOB TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!!!!!!!!

It was like sitting at Bill Maher's round table.

We should do it more often.

1. The target, "capitalism", was much too small.
It's our mythological culture itself which needs new vision.

2. I call it as I see it
Edited on Sat May-27-06 05:47 AM by Selatius
I think we've utterly failed to regulate a system that is built on exploitation, built on inequality, and build on blood-soaked war profiteering. The lives of tens of millions of people plowed over in the name of greater profits and control is a testament to that monumental human disaster. It is an offense to anything decent in this world. In capitalism, you can take something so beautiful and bottle it, contain it, patent it, trademark it, process it, and homogenize it to make a profit, but all you've done is destroy the very thing you wanted to preserve.
