I think Michael's funny as hell. I first saw him at the "Battle in Seattle" when I lived there in 99. But this idea that Capitalism is the problem or "Better Living Through Socialism" is misguided. The answer is MORE freedom for the individual even when he's doing things you don't like, so long as while he's doing those things, he respects the legitimate rights of other individuals. (and that goes for both political sides) When the lines get blurred between Government & Corporations, what you have then is Fascism. Look, I hate the R's as much as anybody, but if what we all want is a truly free society in a truly free country (and that's a big IF), we first need to quit bashing the "ism" we've all benefited from. There! This is Joe's magnum opus. ; )
