Tom Becker reads from "A Hell of Their Own Creation: Does the Ruling Class Really Want to Commit Suicide," by Charles M. Young. Young's essay that pursues just that question, and goes a step further with a murder-suicide analogy drawn from the Godfather II. The ruling-class, in a decadent downward spiral, lash out at their creations, including wage-slaves and nature, which only reflect their impotence. Young also imagines a Second Coming of Christ that they - sadly - aren't teaching in most Sunday Schools. Charles M. Young is a founding member of the collectively-owned, journalist-run online newspaper: This Can't Be Happening
