      Jay Gould noted that he could pay 
      half the population to beat up the 
      other half when they agitated for
      decent pay...is this the summum 
      bonum of capitalist ethics?

Why don't you ask Pierce Inverarity? I'm hearing Bug's Bunny's voice 
from a Warner Brothers Cartoon: 

"Ummmmm. . . . Could Be!"

Let's just say that anyone who is willing to destroy the World just to 
make a buck. . . .

I think that Pynchon is (first and foremost) a Satirist, it's natural for
Satirists to be iconoclasts and that form of iconoclasm came from
the original (first century Greek) Cynics who were natural-born Anarchists.

So more Groucho than Karl, more Krusty the Klown than Krobotkin.

But still Anarchist.
