Michael (and Barkley, Jeff and whoever):

Doubt about the breadth of interest in this subject is uncooked irony;
scrub and replace the increasingly irrelevant subject line, maintain a
wide right margin, and keep chewing on it.  Popular suspicion of the
almost entirely verbal character of the high-flown piracy perpetrated by
the banks and markets is the longest and strongest single thread
connecting the kitchen sink to revolution.

Get it short and sweet, give it the 3-pint test for cogency under fire,
and I can trade my garageload of ammonium nitrate for a relatively
civilized upheaval.
