O.K., Doug, you win, U.S. workers have never had it so good ;-) It's just us
deluded, apocalytic ignoramuses who are imagining a fundamental and
frightening change for the worse. But there it is, clear as day, in the
selective statistics you present: everything is under control; nothing can
go wrong... go wrong... go wrong...

Is this also a bureau of labour statistics fact or is it a basic law of
nature? (...like sun spots ;-)?) Please explain because this strategic
little piece of cracker barrel wisdom provides the _frame_ within which the
bls statistics tell the story you want them to (speaking of social
constructionism).
