Vague News: Society of Dead Philosophers Comment on Government Bank Plan and War in Afghanistan
News Flash! This just in from the Society of Dead Philosophers.
A 125 year old member of the SDP (Society of Dead Philosophers), Karl Marx exclaims that "Democracy is the road to socialism." Yah... right. Meanwhile in related news, we have Socialism: American Style where President Bush today announced a sweeping government plan to partially nationalize several US banks to help restore confidence in the financial system.
A second member of the Society of Dead Philosophers, Friedrich Engels had reported that the Afghans are a brave, hardy, and independent race; they follow pastoral or agricultural occupations only ... With them, war is an excitement and relief from the monotonous occupation of industrial pursuits.
Dude! This Engels stuff is over 100 years old and is relevant to The “reality” of war in Afghanistan today. We got to get this over to the Pentagon right away.
