There is another way to understand the real Magna Carta,
and that is as one of the early steps toward the creation
of the modern political state.

Viewed in this light, the PFF "Magna Carta" suggests
a different irony: an attempt to undo several hundred
years of political development.

Applying Toffler's langauge, this Magna Carta may not
carry us into the Third Wave but back toward the First.

Anyone have strong objections to feudalism?
