Searle, <simply not possible to "do it" the other way -- by saving>? Well i was going to argue against that, citing myself as an example, but in re-reading your comments i see you probably only mean this in respect to being a conventionally-defined 'successful' american and achieving the American Dream. And as i'm sure harry browne would instruct us, the solution (to become free in an un-free world) is to aspire to our own dream and our own definition of 'successful'. re: mammon Your comments made me think of this interesting, if somewhat over-the-top, piece from the interesting folks at FTW which i think you might enjoy. John fromthewilderness.com "The Bush administration has proved itself to be an insular group of inept, dishonest and dangerous CEO's of the corporation known as America. They have become very bad for business and the Board of Directors is now taking action. Make no mistake, the CIA works for "The Board" - Wall Street and big money. The long-term (very corrupt and unethical) agenda of the Board, in the face of multiple worsening global crises, was intended to proceed far beyond the initially destructive war in Iraq, toward an effective reconstruction and a strategic response to Peak Oil. But the neocons have stalled at the ugly stage: killing hundreds of thousands of people; destroying Iraq's industrial and cultural infrastructure as their own bombs and other people's RPGs blow everything up; getting caught running torture camps; and making the whole world intensely dislike America. These jerks are doing real damage to their masters' interests."
