It's a matter of financial capitalists _taking_ enough rope to hang themselves (egged on by most economists). Of course, at present, the financiers are dancing above the open trapdoor in the hanging platform, dancing in the wind and grasping at the noose, trying to get us to shoot the rope (as in "the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly") and pay the cost of their self-destruction. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
