and space for ethics - as Karl's post shows, not least regarding
finances? In general, the US polity may accept cutting of welfare
while big corporates rip their taxes off (from the Iraq war through
to big corporates getting small business grants) but this may not be
acceptable others of us. The system IS open enough to allow some
dissent, but there are systemic imbalances... this is different from
many countries as critics are not necessarily crowded out totally
(and here credit is due to the rich countries - exceptionalism -
but this does not mean that critics are not ostracised... as someone
put it, why does the toast always fall butter side down?<br>
<br>
and as Hegel put it, to paraphrase, in the contest of interests -
what space for virtue...? And how is this position any different
from 'might is right'?<br>
<br>
It would serve as a good reminder for those who are 'disinterested'
that even Mandela was a terrorist according to the US until about
five years after he became president... <br>
