i was surprised to see this article posted here. i read it this morning as part of my daily perusal of the "counterpunch" site, but would never think to post such seemingly "left wing" ideas on this forum. i guess one needn't be a dirty bolshevik like me to appreciate it? anyway, thanks for sharing.

p.s. counterpunch has many contributors with many differing points of view, as the original poster already knows.
