MERRILL LYNCH LOVES TECHNOLOGY. It's new and it's shiny and it inspires a certain awe, like the Great Pyramids of Cheops or a tiny new human being. Technology is good at the heavy lifting. Capitalists are good at the heavy thinking. Bits and bytes and ones and zeroes fly around the planet, but only at our capitalist discretion. The computer has a role model, and it is the capitalist. Computers are plastic and metal and sand. Capitalists are brilliance and discernment and vision. Admire machines. Worship the capitalist.
