That may be. However, the essay written by the 17 year old speaks to an innate sense of fairness. I'm actually having a problem now believing that may Al Gore has shifted into serving himself with global warming. If he knows anything, he knows that cap in trade is a colossal waste of time for carbon emissions. It only worked for the discrete problem of acid rain and even there not completely. The cap in trade thing is in concert with GS. That's the next environmental bubble. I'm still in a 'say it ain't so' place with that, willing to be convinced of his intentions. Problem is people are just people, no matter what, no matter where, no matter color, no matter price tag. Even I have to re-learn that occasionally, as in way overestimating the smarts of the financial wizards plotting away when in fact they're just plodding away raking in bonuses with nary a thought among them. Maybe Marx is that category too. I don't know but I hope not. Kindle doesn't have the Skousen book so I have to get it the old fashioned way which means using up some fossil fuels getting to a store. The Red Prussian sounds interesting too. So much to read, don't know where to start...
