Not to mention Superman's "Fortress of Solitude" and how a man's home "being his castle" we suppose to be a good thing. "We like being islands," or whatever that Donne guy said. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't truly love our King.MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341704109256270557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14072474.post-71266337617626483152007-03-07T17:36:00.000-05:002007-03-07T17:36:00.000-05:00Thanks, Fan-O.I'm not so sure about that other 98 ...Thanks, Fan-O.<BR/><BR/>I'm not so sure about that other 98 bucks, Troutsky. There are an awful lot of people in the world who would be pretty pleased with what counts as just getting by, if they were. This could always, of course, raise expectations for more. But one could say that the choice - that is the basic capacity in terms of basic income, education, health, etc. - to accumulate more or make do with what one has is more important than actually getting another 98 bucks. <BR/><BR/>I tend to think the issue is more a matter of a certain culture believing that's what people not-like-them want because their very own ideology tells them that's what all people want. This is the root of the fear.helmuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069600766378586919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14072474.post-24077376399635216812007-03-06T11:01:00.000-05:002007-03-06T11:01:00.000-05:00Hey Helmut:Re feara couple of excellent sites:--->...Hey Helmut:<BR/><BR/>Re fear<BR/><BR/>a couple of excellent sites:<BR/><BR/>--->bird flu & what's been happening re: martial law & habeas corpus-- <BR/>http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0227-32.htm<BR/> <BR/>--->good basic info on bird flu<BR/>http://www.mdfludigest.com/<BR/><BR/>please blog--- sign me, Fan o the PhronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14072474.post-68525750393457076012007-03-04T18:29:00.000-05:002007-03-04T18:29:00.000-05:00Materialism can be so boring but in this case im g...Materialism can be so boring but in this case im going to stick with it and propose what the "other", mos5t of whom live on less than 2 dollars a day, wants is the other 98 dollars.So a fortress makes perfect sense.
