Ebay turns people into right wingers?
From my friend Jordi Torrent:
In the article “Party Unfaithful-The Republican implosion” (The New
Yorker/June 3, 2007) by Jeffrey Goldberg, Rove states:
There are two or three societal trends that are driving us in an increasingly deep center-right posture (…) One of them is the power of the computer chip. Do you know how many people’s principal source of income is eBay? Seven hundred thousand (…) So the power of the computer has made it possible for people to gain greater control over their lives. It’s given people a greater chance to run their own business, become a sole proprietor or an entrepreneur. As a result, it has made us more
market-oriented, and that equals making you more center-right in your politics.
Hmmmmm…
What a load of utter bollocks!
