Lawrence,
<<, I see there is much education to be done.>>
Well, I went to your link, all excited about learning the principals of free trade and why isolationism and trade hurdles never work (something I always intuitively believed anyway but it would be nice to quote Krugman, especially here where they think he is the last good maht salleh <G>). And Lawrence, I want to express my appreciation for you pedagogic outburst. It is really at those times that I usually learn something from you. And in this case I tried. I really tried. But when I got to the line below I am afraid I lost it. I am going to hit the sack now but I know my wife is going to wonder why I am chuckling in my sleep. I am going to blame Krugman...and you.
"But in that case why should the tits we demand in return for our tats consist only of trade liberalization? "
P.S. GONG XI FA CHAI! In case you were wondering Choy Sun Yeh is coming from the Southeast between 11 pm and 12 pm. You should be ready with appropriate paper (yen pao and tien kong gold) to burn and it would really help a lot if you offered vegetarian food including tree fungus, red dates, mushrooms, rice flour noodles, fruits, cake, and agar agar. But most important is 5 cups each of tea and rice wine and be sure to burn a pair wealth god candles. Choy Sun Yeh is the God of Prosperity by the way. I am planning to ace the market this year. This is much better then inside information.
Best,
Stitch
