I have as many numbers of the accounts as the capitalists do!

I remember having read in a newspaper some years ago that Imelda Marcos—the former first of lady of the Philippines in 70s and 80s--had had 5,000 pairs of shoes in her glorious days. That was certainly a sensational piece of news for a leftist such as I. It was a good argument to support my ideas against inequality and oppression, etc. Even if one is not a leftist, having thousand pairs of shoes is a grotesque way to indulge oneself. There are a great many such examples one of which is that Mari Antoinette’s answer to the demonstrating Parisians. She had asked her servants or people around her why the Parisians were demonstrating against. When her people told that they were demonstrating against hunger, she had replied “If they cannot find bread, they should eat torte.” Therefore, it is not surprising that sometimes elite behave awkwardly and annoying. However, such annoyance might also bring down the ruling elite who are selfish and can only think about themselves.

The reader might think that I was supposed to write about the Kurds; I had promised to continue with the history or situation of the Kurds next day. I know that I veered off from that topic because I intended to write for my blog yesterday; I could not enter my blog site. The reason for that was no matter what I did, I was not able to access my site. Therefore I could not update my blog. Since I have all my passwords on my machine at work, I needed to drive to work this morning—Saturday 24, 07. My work is 16 miles away from my home. I drove to work after having breakfast with my kids. I would have stayed at workplace to study for my classes but I had to return home and go to my children’s swim meet, for I had signed to work from 1 to 5:30 until the end of the meet. The following day my other son is going to compete in the swim meet. So the weekends are full and there is almost no time study for classes.

When I retrieved my username and password for the blog, I looked at the list of my usernames and passwords, it downed on me that the era of the Internet or cyberspace has eventually brought equality among the classes. Now I can say I am equal in having as many account numbers to various sites as do capitalists in my society. I can compete with all the capitalists in creating account numbers. Finally, everyone can now accounts for Yahoo, Google, and other sites—you name it. This is a great revolution. The revolution in cyberspace has made us—rich and poor—equal. This is the only place we can compete with each other. What Marx, Engels and other revolutionary philosophers have not achieved with their ideas, cyberspace revolutionaries have achieved with the creation of revolutionary information technology.

When I started counting my accounts, I realized that I did have many accounts. I do not know whether I will use all of them, but I did possess many from many known brands not from Bloomingdale, Boss, or C. Klein but from Yahoo, Google, MSN, airline, library, Amazon, Borders, etc. etc.
