...I am afraid...of my kids getting no job. Looking at me, saying nothing "come on,its not his* fault"*. Of having one, two grand children only (oh, make it four, two of them married in...), none of them liking my bed time stories. Having to say to myself inner self, look, you did halfway great. But it was not you, it's your parents. Now, look around and tell me, what kind of a place will you be leaving behind? Seeing my inner smile disappear. dj Its still blue skies here and its now close to 7:00 AM. Time to print out Jays quotes - food for the day.

Hi Jay - on the subject of "the super low interest rates in Japan..." etc by Chih Kwan Chen pages.prodigy.net ...already the first few sentences gave me a "deja lu" feeling and by the time I got to 1$ vs 10$ shirts I was certain. Smart stuff, but, hey, it's been written in dec 1998 and nothing has been added since?! You think they hold him in Yakuzuni shrine or in Fort Knox and force feed him sushi / Bic Macs until he breaks down and starts to behave;? Somebody go ahead and extend all the graphs in the ref into 2001. Should be a breeze for somebody paid to do macroeconomy. Come on folks, here's a challenge: should we really get pd with graphs that end with Xmas 98? Things advanced MUCH since! [] Re your love of Italy - heck, have to disappoint you. Imagine GW Bush owned Time Warner and, say, CNBC. Throw in Washington post and Random house into the shopping cart. This should be enough to let you see or at least imagine the US version of Silvio Berlusconi. He owns 50% of Italian media and he has not even tried seriously to divest. He will probably compromise and let his wife balance the checkbook. If this is not enough to you: Larry Kudlow sees Berlusconi as the only bright morning star on the European firmament. One point more: Small government, a soldier or two? Why, who would need anything else if the Big bro has taken care of everything - gimme my daily bread and "who wants to be a millionaire" in the evening and Im happy. dj [*] a steal from the run-down russian joke: "Communism has always been a step ahead of capitalism, and, at this very moment, the capitalism is just a step away from the precipice";\.
