Doug wrote about my signature line:
"People have never been more poor and still we keep hearing about how the
economy, this abstract entity, is doing better than ever, and while the rich
are building summer houses they are also building ghettos for the rest of
us."

I don't know what their political affiliation is Doug, not that it really
matters; you can still be a capitalist and say these kinds of things. Some
would even say it's realism.

Be well,
Gary

"Now, given that kind of time span, it's just not easy to think of Ned Lud
as a technophobic crazy. No doubt what people admired and mythologized him
for was the vigor and single- mindedness of his assault. But the words "fit
of insane rage" are third-hand and at least 68 years after the event. And
Ned Lud's anger was not directed at the machines, not exactly. I like to
think of it more as the controlled, martial-arts type anger of the dedicated
Badass."
