This is the price we pay for the irresponsibility of Peter Grimes, 
who walked away from this mailing list without delegating 
moderational responsibilities on to somebody new. Because of this, 
anybody can subscribe to this list and write crude love poems to 
Yankee imperialism. I am afraid that this dereliction of duty speaks 
poorly of the internal coherence of the world systems school. If such 
a breakdown in communication can take place on an electronic forum 
dedicated to this trend, then one wonders if it has much of a sense 
of its mission in the world. I happen to think that world systems 
theory is a necessary corrective to certain Marxist orthodoxies, but 
at least with Marxism you get a sense that the movement--for better 
or for worse--has a sense of its mission.
