Easy enough for you or me who can charge the minimum wage rate for an hour for a period more like a minute. The point is that Perry was making an appeal to "fairness" in which the cause of the unfairness is pretty much immaterial. If you believe that Digitronics has the right to behave as described then why don't they have the right to draw up lists of suspicious people. We've seen libertopia - its the world of Neuromancer or Bladerunner. When I described it "Medieval" on a talk show recently, William Gibson responded with the term "Reaganite". Being opposed to government slavery isn't enough. Coorporate slavery is just as bad. Unless people are enfranchised ecconmically as well as politically the political liberties don't matter much. I'm quite happy to allow Bill G. the run of the Internet because if he becomes too powerful and becomes a threat to society itself I don't mind the used of government power to break up a monopoly. On the other hand various people on this list get tied up in knots trying to have it both ways, to be pro-coorporatism in general but anti the kind of coorporatism that they don't like. I am on an SPL that is run by an organisation called the "Ecconomic League". It is an organisation run by the UK Conservative party which keeps lists of "unsafe" employees. Of course the list is available for government repression as well if they choose - except that few would give it any credibility. In November 55 odd percent of the population will vote for Clinton who is not an opponent of government. About 35% will vote for Dole who is even more pro-government having spent his time in the Sentate getting favours for friends like Archer-Daniels-Midland. Most of the remainder will vote for Dole appart from an insignificant number that will vote for the Libertarian and Green candidates. If you insist on such a selective interpretation of rights you will continue to be ineffective since the Libertarian party cannot get anywhere under the US electoral system and the Republican party is at present controlled by the control freaks of the Christian Coalition. If on the other hand you ditch the ecconomic rhetoric you can be very influential on the left because they are looking for ways to capture traditional republican positions. With the Republicans proposing seven consitutional ammendments in their platform that leaves open an opportunity for the Democrats to step in as the protectors of the constitution. If someone can work out a way of squaring the Freeh situation you can basically write the platform for Gore's campaign in 2000. Phill
