Dear AnybodyOutThere:

Naysayers come in all stripes, shapes and sizes. What many of these naysayers point to as a successful working model is in fact a hidden materialistic religion. Sound too wierd? Well,it's not.

Those "mysterious market forces", progress and growth are indicators of this unmentionable religion. Just look at the wordings of NAFTA, the MAI and other slogans that pundits for this religion of growth use and it becomes very clear. The coming worldwide shortage of adjectives to pump up corporate morale is hardly even taken into consideration.

Oh dear. They can't help themselves to even stop it can they? Didn't they know that such repetitious punditry could make them go blind. What a tragedy for the employing class. The elation and ecstasy is enough to go into a hypnotic trance on the trading floors and to see visions of bountiful profits in the paradise called Wall Street.

Does anybody out there pray to the god of the free market? If so what sacrifices do they offer to these wrathful dieties? Are the bull and the bear conflicting opposites that have to be pleased in order for turbulent world markets to calm down? Some may deny that this is their religion but it sure won't hurt them to find out for themselves.
