Doyle;
The board room is for capitalists.  Thousands of years ago, women were
queens and so on.  You have to account for the mass base processes in a
realistic manner.  If people are so individualized how come they want
to marry?  I emphasize that communal ties in Iraq are very strong
against the U.S.  The whole globe is capitalist.  There is an unreality
in your comment.
