Hi, Dave, 

 

Given that the super rich have the resiliency to respond to any crisis, I have 
a hard time imagining  anything that would disadvantage them EXCEPT taxing the 
living daylights out of them.  We did pretty well on 90% marginal tax rates.   

 

I agree about the White Quarantine.

I once taught an honors course, with Father Smith at St. Thomas on the 
Anthropology and Theology of War. One of the prime forces behind war — since 
prehistory — had been nothing more than birth control.

  is not one that I am prepared to take as a model.  Just imagine the worst 
sort of dystopian post apocalyptic novel.  See the description of the Calhoun 
experiment on p 224.

Maybe the rats were right?
