Re: another millenium argument

Great one Jeff. Rand's fiction is also great stuff.

I swear, these authoritarian crypto-fascists ought to consult history
before they bitch about Capitalism....especially since what they are really
bitching about
is today's *Corporate Culture* in a quasi-socialist country like the USA -
which is not a
capitalist economy, since it is heavily regulated and subsidized by its
statist government.
