I don't have to beat it, I was part of it. That's the point - 1953 was a
great year to be born...

Sometimes I feel like I must have been born at the luckiest time in US
history. I spent my 20's and 30's after WWII, polio, smallpox, the
depression... before AIDS, overcrowded cities, and now the war on

terrorism.

Oh yeah? Well I spent those years on the 70s and 80s. Sex, sex and rock
and roll! Beat THAT!

Don't worry. If we could get Al Qaeda to watch our TV news, their IQs
would so decline that they'd no longer be able to find the US on a map.


The US is on a map?


Us are on a map? The U.S. are on a map? How many are we? Is the bellboy a
member of your family?

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

It would be more accurate to say that the general public does not know what
they would lose by shutting down GA.

If they shut down GA, most of the general public would have no idea why they
have no jobs, why they can't get their mail, why their doctor or lawyer or
CPA can no longer serve them, why their forests are burning down, why their
seafood suddenly has become more valuable than gold in the few places it is
still available, why children are suddenly dying of cancer, etc. The public
would just blame it on bad handling of "the economy," whatever that is.

1949 was the coolest year to be born! You hit 18 in 1967; the "Summer Of
Love". You not only got to enjoy a changing world, you got to help build it,
too.

Who pays attention to people moving in and out of cheap apartments
in New York?


Cheap apartments in New York? There aren't any.

"However, we cannot opt out of economic issues. Every citizen and every
official they elect has an affect on the economy. Our only options are to be
informed or uninformed when making our choices in the economy or in the
voting booth.
Unfortunately, those who are uninformed -- or, worse yet misinformed -- when
it comes to economics include the intelligentsia, even when they have Ph.D.s
in other fields.

"Economics as a profession has some responsibility for this widespread lack
of understanding. Highly sophisticated economic analysis can be found in
courses on campuses where a majority of the students have no real
understanding of something as elementary as supply and demand.

"Even students taking introductory economics as their one and only course in
the subject may get little that they can take with them out into the world
as citizens and voters. Introductory economics is too often taught as if the
students in it were all potential economists who had to be introduced to the
standard graphs, equations and jargon that they will need in higher level
courses or in the profession." -- Thomas Sowell, _Thoughts on the 'Dismal'
Science_, December 26, 2003
