- I was watching the news at my mom's house in Southern California, and there
- was a rally in the riot-torn part of LA that is (supposedly) getting rebuilt.
- Apparently someone (I have not been following this) has proposed that a
- tax-free "free enterprise zone" be set up, and the rally was staged to
- show the community united against the idea.
-
- One of the speakers proposed co-operative businesses be set up as an
- alternative to the free-enterprise zone. It was the first time I have ever
- heard of co-operative business getting any attention on the television
- news. There seemed to be a lot of support for the idea, too.
