I've never understood what the Bush folk meant by the "Ownership Society" I thought I did. I even thought I agreed with it. Still do. I think it's about making people independent and powerful rather than dependent drones at the mercy of elements, haves rather than have nots. Home ownership, stock ownership, part of management. If one wanted to be cynical about that, one could call it social darwinism, it would seem. As for the "Social Darwinism" bit, I can't see that catching on as a campaign slogan. I agree. It might work in another time and place but this AI thing muddies the water too much.
