Alas, those of us who hope for someone to rescue late-stage capitalism from its essential nature are doomed to be appalled when the prince finally shows up: it'll be a real prince. But I cannot say that I disagree with you.
Post #362,568 by Another Scott 9/14/12 3:26:44 PM Reply	Isn't that a common expression that can mean... "'some people' but I might or might not count myself in that group"? From the same family of expressions as the "royal 'we'", I think. Cheers, Scott.

Personally, if it were, imo it would have been better (or at least more clear to this aging old hillbilly from the foothills of the Appalachian mountains - and that's pronounced "App-el-lat-chin", not "App-el-lay-shun" like the yankees say it :) if it had been written, "Alas, for those who hope ..." instead of, "Alas, for those of us who hope.." YMMV. As I said, it was a pedantic nit. But I understand your point. ;0) Edit: Dang, I can't even quote properly. Edited by mmoffitt Sept. 15, 2012, 12:33:14 PM EDT Expand All History
