To: PROGRESSIVE SOCIOLOGISTS A thousand people died horrible deaths in Nigeria this week.  Some burned to death, some trampled, some drowned. Many, many children. Why? Because of capitalism. Because a military munitions dump is placed in an area where many people live and work. Because nobody can protest against those sorts of things. Because those sorts of things are "acceptable" to the Nigerian government
