suck-cess & metros with overtones of coreography & capitalist humanity

[Eulenspiegel7646 at aol.com]

"They have both failed. American men and woman stand tall. The terrorists
and anti-globalists may dance in the streets or crack a guilty smile.... "

But some are not so tall.  many are the infamous short people so derided by 
good Americans like Randy Newman, but I repress.  Is it true that the Dead 
can dance?  Or do they, like the living, rage?  Turning purple, I miss the 
point.

"...they don't understand the markets at all, they never will understand
the humanity of it. They  talk of the markets as if they are machines or
the machinations of corporate monsters who murder and exploit the poor
and underprivileged. With the smell of rotting corpses rising from the
ashes and tears still flowing all around, they can only offer a false
condolence for the murdered children of America, but oh how they scream
from the paper minarets about the children half way round the world.
There is something odd in that. Isn't there?"

The above quote is taken totally out of context but not too seriously.  
Ambiguously, the shadow people are the real corrupters.  I would make the 
arguement that TRP listens faithfully to Art Bell.  Perhaps we are at the 
Famous End of History.

"...Some sort of denial, some self-righteous, self-serving phoniness, some 
perverse need to control the emotions and politics of others as if they were 
children."

A River in Egypt?  Is the water potable?  I think not.  "Children are 
dimpled, curly-haired lunatics."  Thoreau.
