Reply #63: Have you not NOTICED how the wealthy have been acting since 1980?

[Ken Burch]

It's all been about the few taking more and more for themselves while excluding the rest. Why do you think that doesn't matter?

You can't honestly believe we're on the verge of some sort of technoutopia in which those in power suddenly stop acting against the rest of us. Why are you so unwilling to face the how ugly things have been in the last three decades?

It's all been about selfishness and arrogance...from the endless tax cuts for the rich to the endless wars for the rest of us.

Yes, life is in flux, but how can it possibly have a progressive result if we just leave it to the market forces like YOU want us to?

A market-driven cyberworld is going to be a world where social justice doesn't exist, where all creative forms exist solely as advertising, and where nothing other than making money is respected or valued. Why are you looking forward to that?
