Anything other than openness and full accountability is tyranny.

"Open society" sounds a bit like anarchy

Hi Don,

Here's an up-to-the-minute view of George Soros and his criticism of George Bush:

Re: I seem to recall his name coming up quite a bit in the middle of the Asian crisis.

Soros says that he was unjustly accused in that instance. I tend to believe him. The East Asian currency meltdowns were based on much more than the futures bets of the Quantum Fund.

Re: "Open society" sounds a bit like anarchy

Absolutely not. What Soros vision was and remains is to create the sort of civil society institutions, i.e. educational, social, scientific and humanistic organizations in the former Soviet Union that have flourished in Western democracies. Basically, with the collapse of the state in the FSU, Soros was fearful that anarchy and chaos would be allowed to exist. His Open Society initiatives are actually a cure for anarchy, they are an organizing mechanism.

If you want to think about somebody who is hell-bent on creating anarchy, it is George Bush. The great dismantler of our civic institutions and beneficial government organizations.

Re: If the number of people who understand what's really been happening for the past 2 years eventually reaches a critical mass, the Bush Cartel is going to be in heap big trouble.

Judging by the number of regional publications that are publishing strong editorial condemnations of the Bush lies leading us into quagmire, I'd say that Bush is certainly becoming very vulnerable.
