And Any philosophy, economic or otherwise, or society, which does not address humanity as a critical variable, is not worth a cup of warm spit. Have you ever tried warm spit? I have. I was sitting at my son's computer surfing the web while on a visit. He chews Copenhagen, and had a beer can near the computer for spitting in. I accidentally grabbed it by mistake instead of my own beer and took a big swig. I realized what it was and ran out the door to spit a big mouthful out on the grass. Yuk and double yuk.

koan, you have me in a state of dazzlement. Marxist talk? This Prychitko? I guess I don't have the talent to convey what I'm trying to talk about.

Sociopaths for instance, would be, and were, fine with early 19th century sweatshops-lol. Society has to weed out the sociopaths and control them. 19th century sweatshops had little to do with sociopathy. They (like third world sweat shops today) have to do with the fact that the places that had/have them didn't have the type of wealthy developed economies that we have today. Both than and now they are often beneficial to the people that work in them. This post was about 3rd word sweatshops (or at least a large section of it was, some of it was more specific to the context of the post), but that section is mostly also relevant to 19th century American sweatshops Message 23874179 Also see Message 23879029
