First of all, you have me confused with somebody who thinks they can create some utopian solution ("anarchism, socialism, statism") to the problems of the world as it is. Let's try some negative psychology here, since the positive stuff seems to have failed: keep confusing me with those people. You're doing a great job buttonholing me.

For everyone else: mostly I'm an opponent of the blind, deaf, and dumb chic ideology of the decade, the belief that the imposition of the "free market" upon the world will cure everything from Russia's depression and Brazil's insolvency (which such imposition caused) to the gout. I have to believe that it was no conincidence that minimal literacy and redneck mentality have become extremely fashionable attitudes in the same decade. I can only expect things to get worse in the next century, as the weather grows hotter, conflict over resources becomes more severe, and life grows weirder, while the ideologues scratch their butts, dumbfounded as to why, while rejecting explanation out-of-hand.
