I'm afraid such a mayhem is quite understandable and legitimate.... Even President Bush acknowledged in his "election speech" that not all Americans had a fair access to the so-called American Dream. Besides, as the "dot-com" euphoria is over (see the Nasdaq), the forthcoming Bush administration will lack the ideological pulse that was provided by the new "e-frontier".... Al Gore may be the inventor of the Internet, but GW Bush may have to re-invent a more mundane, brick-and-mortar Utopia. Interestingly, most of the current unrest that erupted during the past few weeks has not so much to deal with the policy of a Bush administration as with dissatisfaction at Clinton's.... After all, the Seattle riots (recall Frenchman José Bové and his neo-Luddites), the anger of resentful Cuban-Americans during the Elian crisis, and high-profile discrimination lawsuits (Texaco and Coca-Cola), have all occurred during the Clinton presidency! Now, it seems to me that many among the destitute have merely repressed their frustrations because Mr Nice-Guy was in charge, and now, after the Bilderberg/Israeli clique craftily stirred up the election mess, they're all ganging up against the Texan bogey.... The good news is that I read on Yahoo-News that Rev. Jesse Jackson phoned GW Bush yesterday and that both leaders have agreed to meet next week. Gus.
