Both and neither. The Evil Empire is in ruins and amoral Global
Capitalism rules unchallenged. If US Racism were a corporation, it would
probably generate a lot of investor enthusiasm with the anouncement of
an IPO, what with record numbers of Americans spending time in the penn
where safety lies in membership in race-based prison gangs and the war
on drugs... blah blah blah, you've all heard me rant on that topic so
I'll move on.

I expect that they do. Seems to be a pretty common dillusion at all
levels of the socio-economic-political foodchain.

Us good; them bad.

Iceburg, dead ahead, but it's not just the right-wing cabins that will be filling with chilly water. I don't pretend to know how political power will be transformed in the next few years, but, like every other aspect of our lives, it will be transformed, and the "liberals" in Washington don't strike me as being any better prepared to surf the change than their right-wing peers.
