[ExI] How slow is capitalism?

[Jones Murphy]

I am on "this" side of the pond. I spent the last 5 yrs living in
Rome, and just moved to Paris. And what I'm saying sounds perfectly
sensible to my ears, and the ears of the people of Italy and France
who are supporting the rebels in Libya militarily. Try again, with
more of your condescending presumptions. And try to stay focused on
the facts. Don't tell me about what Libya used to be. Tell me about
what Libya is now that causes such dissatisfaction among so many of
its people, which has to be suppressed with indiscriminate killing and
atrocities.
