Andrea,
I just want to let you know that I don't disagree with your general
sentiments. If you check out the December 1999 MD archives when I posted
under the screen name "Cntryforce" you will see several posts by me where I
express my outrages about how money works in American society.
A long discussion on money began with my post "MD status report" in Dec. '99.
If you read that you'll see that I see some of the troubling trends that you
see.
But as you said, and as I learned, this mailing list is about Robert Pirsig's
MOQ and not politics.
