    Don't see that bills of rights have any relationship to capitalism.
    The notion of private property, certainly, and of free enterprise,
    but these are hardly what I think of as sociopolitical advances,
    quite the opposite, in fact. After reading your surrounding text, I
    bet you don't mean it the way it sounds. Can you elaborate?

    storeyd says, later:
    So we could say that capitalism induces one of the basest and
    grossest cultural instantiations of this possessing/grasping drive,
    but that that drive itself is what causes ALL of them, cultural,
    political, and psychic strife in the universe, and all of these are
    moral hemorrages.

    This is right on, Id' say.

    Thanks for the great post,
