Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

A haughty attitude toward low wage workers
I listened with disgust Thursday ( Nov. 5 ) as our Talk-Radio reactionaries commented on this nation wide protest against poverty wages in the fast food industry. These two bit, bought and sold celebrities never fail to show a haughty disdain for th
e struggles of ordinary working class people- not for the " good life " but for basic human dignity.
They all accept without question the ruling class lie of wealth creation. As if Mother Nature created plutocrats to lord over the common people. Real economic science deals with objectively measurable quantities like resources, technology and
labor time. It does not -in the spirit of superstition- recognize the Magic of the Rich & Famous. Even talent in all its forms can be reduced to training time and calories. The finest brain is powered by the energy equivalent of a dull light bulb.
In a socialist society any talent for exploitation and lying will be discouraged. To be sure !
