14. It's called 'false consiousness"

Edited on Sun Nov-14-04 12:29 PM by zippy890

They THINK they are happy with stuff, material things, the ever more tantalizing, glittering thing to be gotten, owned, when in fact those things, and the desire to get them actually comes to 'own' them.

I guess I am a socialist at heart.

I agree with Hunter Thompson when he said he believed in these 2 things:

- the abolition of inherited wealth

- 100% tax on excess profits

Course I know these aren't prevailing beliefs in our society, but I have been rediscovering my radical politics of my youth lately, and it seems to suit these times
