Re: [Marxism] Homeless hawks




Thanks for posting this, Louis. I was so sad viewing the pix in the Times
yesterday of the nest before destruction, and the poor hawk trying (futilely
because of the wind) to rebuild it afterward.

By coincidence last night I finished Shaw's "Doctor's Dilemma," a witty
savaging of private healthcare. Toward the end one character points out that
people's thoughtless brutality towards animals prepares them to be equally
brutal toward other people. (Is it really such a large leap from killing tens
of thousands of dogs and cats in New York to shrugging your shoulders at
"unpreventable" human murders?).

P.S. Re Marx and Lessig, don't forget to check out John Bellamy Foster's
"Marx's Ecology" where he analyzes the links in depth.
