I'd say that it's worse now, only that the ugliest exploitation is happening 
outside europe and the us

or is it not the reverse ?
I believe that the whole history of the USA leads to Bush (and beyond), as the 
whole history of France leads to having Chirac right now (and someone else 
later). I don't mean that it is in anyway predictable, but only logical a 
posteriori

I was thinking of this recently as we were having a family discussion over our 
respective responsibilities in the invasion of irak. yes, we have such 
discussions, it is interesting to note that they have been happening much more 
frequently since we got rid of our TV. before that we talked more often of how 
stupid and manipulative tv is, between 2 bouts of watching it, our default 
activity.
