Only a non-existent God could save us otherwise. I would seriously question the sanity of any proletarian who joint their ranks, the same way I would question a slave who, with the prospect of equal rights, fought against his emancipation. <BR/><BR/>With the Ron Paul "revolution" I seriously worry for the future of the working class. <BR/><BR/>Well described indeed; the state functions merely to keep the product of Capitalism, namely; inequality. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for a great article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
