ah, we don't have the word yet for an economic system that works: we thought capitalism/they thought communism/much of the world now thinks socialism.

while millions starve because "there is not enough." while the richest capitalist country can't afford health insurance for all because "there is not enuff money." while that great capitalist country tries all it can to insult individuals and nations who actually claim that maybe we have enuff time to have peace, not war. a capitalist country that has fully demonstrated that all the toys in the universe will never equal happiness, even as our hair gleams and shines, our automobiles streak like magic through twisting highways, our computers bring us new levels of communication, we have ichat and echat and OALchat and bulletin boards and we can't quite remember the names of our neighbors, and we think that if we only have a few more guns then, finally, we'll be save (or more and better locks, more cops, more more more more more more), and we cry in our soup that folks last christmas didn't spend enuff money to keep the false economic boat afloat instead of celebrating that maybe people are finally discovering that they have perhaps spent enuff already thank you.

maybe: capcomsocialism.
