As we approach the year 2000, we have little idea of what the consequences might be. The one thing we do know is that our world has managed to get itself in desperate straits. We Americans prosper more than ever before. We have everything. We just don't enjoy it.
Pleasure seekers abound.
My desert reels with rave parties. Corruption, once the private brew of developing countries, now so permeates our own society that we have come to expect it. We are not fooled into thinking that the huge contributions to politicians by special interest groups are just an expression of free speech. Indeed, so blatant are the self-interests of our governmental figures that we daily reach new levels of cynicism. Monopolies abound unabated.
