The Virgin is a Dynamo. Frenesi, young gaffer taps into the Beast, the
Grid. 

She is Erikson's "MOM" and so she is a cold bitch like many of Pynchon's
mothers. 

The Storms, Nature's own terrible electricity is sacred, but Frenesi
switches it off like a TV set. The Waves, sacred green giants crashing
on the shore, now collapse, exhausted. The whale has entered the river,
the world is on its side and turning toes over tea cups, something is
rotten in America. 


Business and Political Organizations (PACS, Special Interest, Oil,
Hollywood, Real Estate, etc.) have dominate and control American
Politics in VL. Even the liberal and social policies of the New Deal and
Great Society were shaped by business groups to meet their needs while
simultaneously responding to and defusing popular protest. If the
liberal institutions that existed in the late 60s and early 70s were
created to accord with business priorities, why then would corporate
leaders wish to dismantle them? Why did the being to mobilize to
fundamentally change policies and organizations that they had shaped,
and in some cases, even initiated. 

What was the motivation for the rise of corporate conservatism? 

We read on this list a bunch of nonsense about the decline of America,
the hegemony lost and blah blah. 

But the challenge, from Asia and Europe, combined with the popular
movements within the USA, including movements described in VL, like
Blacks, Students, Women, Labor, Environment, Consumer Protection, were
all defeated. Fearing Social Democracy, reading up on what had happened
in the 1940s, American Business realized that what they had done in the
past would not work again. The world had shifted. Business shifted too.
The major change  was a shift of resources to Conservative Institutions.
And guess who pulled it off? Go ahead, you baby-boomers vote for Kerry,
blame Nixon and Reagan. Pynchon won't let you off that easy. OK, you can
blame the Sisterhood & DL and Ralph Wayvone, all the other ex-whatevers
out to make a buck and fuck their bothers and sisters over,  They all
shifted with the wind. And now, they want to blame it on the pigs. What
a bunch of dogs.
