By the time we're all aware, it'll be too late to do anything. This situation only reinforces the revulsion I feel about the sections of the UK far left who chased their careers while Rome burned. (They acknowledged in 1997 that there would be a limited window of opportunity following the Blair election when we'd be able to build a viable left.)<br /><br />Renegade, that's too horrible to contemplate.<br /><br />Spanish Prisoner — thanks for the clarification. I was actually feeling some sympathy for him before I read your comment.

People were mad at him because of his spineless behavior towards the power companies during their manufactured energy crisis. What's more, when he was in the state legislature Davis voted for deregulation of the energy industry, which made the crisis possible in the first place.<br /><br />Of course, Schwarzenegger is no better than Davis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-28319350798594615462009-09-03T04:38:10.094+01:002009-09-03T04:38:10.094+01:00Obama's economic advisors are mainly from the ...Obama's economic advisors are mainly from the University of Chicago (Friedman).Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-80601375625530275722009-09-02T20:23:59.675+01:002009-09-02T20:23:59.675+01:00MM - thanks for reviews - i missed the programs.

When power companies start engineering power cuts, you know the system's become dysfunctional. Do you think the showing of these programs is part of a sign that things are swinging leftwards? Last week I saw a snippet of James Murdoch doing his Gordon Gecko turn and thought it very unconvincing. So 1980's.will brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355834696322394362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-73010148325990509302009-09-02T13:33:01.350+01:002009-09-02T13:33:01.350+01:00I'm sure they'll repeat it, Harpy.

It was fascinating seeing how the nasty horrible vile Ewan Cameron with his hideous MKULTRA experiments led to the School of the Americas in turn led us all the way to Gitmo.<br /><br />The ending of The Shock Doctrine was utterly weak.<br /><br />The doc also made me think of David Harvey's Brief History of Neoliberalism which is a brilliant bk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
