“If global capitalism does, as some commentators insist, mark "the end of history," thereby setting the boundaries within which any real change can still be effected (assuming of course real change is possible within an environment created by global capitalism), then nurturing resistance, disgruntlement, and discontent rather than allowing these forces to dissipate in a seemingly endless proliferation of diversions (especially those of the pharmaceutical and technological variety) would seem to be of paramount importance. Otherwise, we would risk becoming a nation of "happy slaves" dedicated to the ideals and objectives necessary for the continued "happiness of all those who possess the means of living well.”
