    Hi Lawrence,

    With all do respect for your attempt here, I feel that I have to batch your hopes into the ground of pessimism. This is actually what Marx was trying to do so many years ago, and what is according to Harris ( see Joe 's URL) the reason why the world is so contrary towards the US. A worlds society is not yet for tomorrow, the working force will not line up with those poor fellows of the Third World. A socialist future like you attempt to create is bound to fail, but you got my deepest sympathy....

    Kenneth
