You are giving economists way too much credit. I'm not asking for 100%, or even 90%. But 50% would be nice. But economists can rarely manage 10%. Surely you would not take a drug if the doctor only had a 10% chance of predicting the major effects? _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
