There was a new archbishop of canterbury "enthroned" today. Rowan Williams, who is pretty much as lefty-commie as they come is now pretty much in charge of the Church of England. Among the many other things I see wrong with that he said something that I thought was really annoying. The NY times wrote "He called the United States-led bombing of Afghanistan "morally tainted," hit out at the capitalist "market state," and attacked computer games, talent shows and the Walt Disney Company for exploiting young people's obsessions."
This man is a religious leader. He is in charge of exploiting whatever it is in human brains that make us need to believe in some greater power. Then he claims to represent that power, and is the official representative and chief exploiter. Then he goes on to criticize some company for exploiting that which makes us happy. How does Disney and video game companies exploit us? By giving us that which makes us happy. So naturally it is wrong.
Mind you this was from the guy who exploited Christians by writing a useless spiritual piece of crap about post 9/11 beareavement.
You would think that a man who wrote 14 books has something intelligent to say. . . but you'd be wrong.
