The Truth Will Out
Saying all people should be some sort of Huxleyian plug-in for the whims of commerce is a curious sort of polemic. And I'm ruefully glad to hear one of the Mostafa Monds out there finally come forward. This also reminds me a bit of Swift's suggestion during the Potato Famine that English butcher shops start carrying Irish babies...or Nazi Ag Minister's Darre's supposed comment that once the UK is taken, all non-Nordic English males be sterilized. Obviously cruel humor, fanaticism, or slander give birth to such remarks, but then comes the wind to bear them aloft. There's a lot to learn just by watching how far up so-called "far-fetched" ideas rise.
