Ed, Now, now! If they
exchange their money for what they think is a better something to have –
they are better off. What they have is more valuable than their money.
Otherwise they wouldn’t have made the exchange. The fact that
you think it is crap isn’t important to them – nor to the general
scheme of things. It doesn’t really have much bearing on inequitability.
However, it does keep people employed which is supposed to be a good thing. If you and
others keep complaining about our scare resources, maybe in 20 years, or a 100
years, or a thousand years, scarcity of some things will be bothersome. But, probably not
if the free market is allowed to run things. On the other
hand, as the political/economic complex hasn’t a clue about running the
economy - even as it tries to run it - who knows what kind of mess they will
get us into? In the
meantime, let the people enjoy their crap. They are doing no harm. Harry ******************************************** From: Ed Weick
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't think we've solved the production
problem. One reason for our inequitable distribution of income is that we
use our scarce resources to produce a lot of crap. A lot of people make a
lot of money producing crap. Others keep them rich and themselves poor by
buying it. Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harry Pollard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2003 2:00 AM Subject: RE: [ Ø
