Hi John, Thanks for the suggestion of the Corti book. From that era, I'm more familiar with the work of Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell and Edwin LeFebvre. Of more recent vintage, Chernow's "House of Morgan", which I found fascinating. Keynes "General Theory" and Friedman's "Economic History of the U.S....." were useful additions. I'm well versed on the founding of the FRB from my MBA studies. So, to dismiss me as a naif is not going to work. My stridency doesn't evolve from a lack of education. It evolves from a sense of ethics and morality that does not seem to be shared by the forces cramming globalization down the planet's throat. As far as being patient with the present circumstances we find ourselves in, I feel like the frog who's been throw in the pot and the water is warming severely. Perhaps you are better insulated from the destructive forces in the markets and thus are affording to be more phlegmatic about things. I don't have the time to wait for the crooks to completely control the whole game. :) -Ray

John: Message 17651056 I also had today as the beginning of the window (but of course its was from one of his earlier posts). Its difficult trying to present an opposing view with liberals. From my experience its not worth the effort, like conservatives on the opposite side, they only see their side of the position. Discussing politics is a quick way to lose friends and gain enemy's. The liberals have hated Bush and the conservatives hated Clinton, both from day one. The general populace likes or liked them both. go figure. ps - I'm on summer hours so you won't catch me in the office @ 6:30 unless I'm being forced by a client.
