I am not an academic or an economist. You will have to decide for yourself whether I am a faithful servant of the IMF. --jks In a message dated Tue, 26 Sep 2000 7:45:24 AM Eastern Daylight Time, "Nestor Miguel Gorojovsky" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: En relación a [PEN-L:2302] Re: Re: The US buys democracy for Yu, el 25 Sep 00, a las 23:03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] dijo: I disn't say that the historical facts are unimportant--although sometimes I think it's advisable to forget them for pragmatic purposes when trying to frame a solution to a current problem.

You will have to decide for yourself whether I am a faithful servant of the IMF. --jks [I had previously pointed out that jks's way of thinking was the usual way by which people who began their academic carreers as "progressive" students finished them by working for the IMF] Sorry if you took it personal. What I wanted to do, and your angry answer simply ratifies my general point, is that these structures of mind are absolutely unconscious for those who slide to the muddy pond. I am not saying that YOU are sliding into it yourself, and in fact I hope you can catch the rope I am throwing to you. This is not up to me to decide, this is up to you to do.

I actually wasn't, which I expressed on a previous mail. If there was anything personal, it was a warning like "Don't step further in that direction, thin ice ahead!"
