The wondrous machine of global revolution is oscillating out of control, widening the arcs of social and economic instabilities in its wake. The destructive pressures building up within the global system are leading toward an unbearable chaos, even without a dramatic collapse, will likely provoke the harsh, reactionary politics that can shut down the system. This outcome is avoidable if nations will put aside theory and confront what is actually occurring, if they have the courage to impose remedial changes before it is too late. { brad brace } <<<< bbrace-AT-netcom.com >>>> ~finger for pgp The_12hr-ISBN-JPEG_Project ftp.wco.com/users/bbrace << > eccentric ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace < >> hypermodern ftp.teleport.com/users/bbrace << >> imagery online ftp.rdrop.com/pub/users/bbrace << >> all-the-time ftp.pacifier.com/pub/users/bbrace << Usenet-news: alt.binaries.pictures.12hr/ a.b.p.fine-art.misc Mailing-list: listserv-AT-netcom.com / subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg Reverse Solidus: http://www.teleport.com/~bbrace/bbrace.html --- from list phillitcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
