accepting market based mechanisms
I'm on the left (pretty far...) and willing to accept market based mechanisms. As in, I believe "the market" is politically determined, and if we alter the axioms of "the market", there will still be a "the market", though it will be operating under different rules than the current "the market". Profits can still be made, but not the obscene hyper profits of the rich at the expense of everyone else, and at the expense of resource depletion. Work within the system to change the system, as they say. Sustainability now!

Right, someone.

'Market' rhymes with 'political power' and the reverse. But it would probably be somewhat easier to define 'political power' than to define 'market'. Oh no, it isn't: the market is the market as defined by political power. The world is so transparent. This means the end of Clintonism, Blairism, Barrosoism and maybe even Ism-ism.

Light candles, beat drums, pray, go outside and dance naked in the light of the full moon, whatever, to help shift the political balance in the U.S. For once I'll unashamedly let a foreign power dominate a comment on the pages of the European Tribune.
