| SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] Interesting article on Valenti in this months Business2.0.
|
The article is titled Who Speaks for Tech.
Valenti is quoted as saying: "No Kingdom, no empire, no monarchy, no
republic will endure unless its citizens are under a canopy of a sturdy
moral compact -- and history is replete with the dry bleached bones of
prior enterprises that have neglected that lesson".
First, I thought this country was a democracy? Or am I wrong?
Second, the first three examples do not belong in the same league as the
last one he cited.
Third, there is a reason those three examples he used have not
survived to this day.
Because they all were designed to keep the citizens under the
thumb of a single ruler that was chosen arbitrarily.
Those systems were designed to keep the citizens ignorant, ill and
dependant on a welfare system that was distributed as deemed fit by the
ruler. Not unlike socialism/communism.
Or am I wrong?
Is it my imagination or is Valenti a seriously mentally disturbed
indiviudual?
