It’s all about money, which is status, which, at bottom, is greed, the emotion that motivates capitalism and capitalists.

Bush and company are an obviously criminal enterprise (why, for example, is nothing made of the faulty electrical installations in Iraq which killed several servicemen-that strikes me as far worse than foolish plans that aren’t implemented). Bushco learned it doesn’t have to fake anything. They just do as they please. We complain, but that’s all we do. That’s what has to change.</p> I am not so sure.
