some of the corporate crimes she's described are damned upsetting

I agree.

Judging by the award recipients over the past couple of years it doesn't sound likemuch of a "peace prize" to me. More like a hate prize.

i meant the idea of neo-imperialism she describes is upsetting
i don't see how arundhati roy can be seen as being hatemonger
not in any logical sense

WOW, a cliched, leftist diatribe.

Sorry, my bad. It's an ARTICULATE cliched leftist diatribe. Silly me, now I see what makes it so unique as to be worth posting.

 

[walrusbear]

why are you so quick to dismiss it as 'diatribe'?

I hate people who assume that compassion is the same thing as cliched leftist bs.
