This may seem weird.. Listening to a recent talk thing with Gates and Buffett... Warren was rather older and wiser; not much of his wealth was appropriated by shorting. He bet on winners.. held .. said to hell with the "market," got really lucky too. (IMHO) Will there ever be an Anti-Buffett; someone who would make it to the top betting against the grain as it goes upward forever and ever? Makes you think. While Carl Marx was a few hundred years precipitous about the chances of success for Communism in his Place and Time, he was, nevertheless, a better diagnostician of Capitalism than its myopic pundits like Dr. Smith.. The latter, as we know it, may very will die in favor of another "New DeaL" before our life times our out.... interestingly enough. And not by "ideology," as Carl pointed out; but simply in accordance with the predications of nano-technocrats, idiot savants like Buckminster Fuller, and visions of Star Trek - where the only Capitalists left are the short F people with the ugly big ears. Just having some fun, forgive me, Marty
