Yes, Searle, the US is roundly and soundly disliked. It's not proper or pleasant to speak loudly and rudely when everyone is having a grand old time quaffing cognac around the fireplace--never mind the anarchists caching bombs in the belfry. Perhaps they'll just go away and be nice middle class social democrat anarchists if we ignore them. Let's hope and assume so. (As we throw the ANC and Arabs another bag of pesos.....) The waves are about all I can get long at the moment. ;) As you suggest, the crosscurrents of inflationary and deflationary signals makes it seemingly safe to make either guess on the future, but my self-comforting reasoning is that this would be a typical situation in the transition from the one to the other. The other great comfort is that no one agrees with me. Anyone who can spell Kondratieff is quite certain we have anothe 10-20 years of deflation ahead--ignoring the 20-25 we've already had--since it wasn't spotted in London or New York until 2000. The rolling deflation/recession only rolled into the City of London and into Gotham close to the end of the tide. Therefore it couldn't have existed before. Re ipse loquitur. Case closed. Small potatoes, really, in any event. Next to the new 100 years' war it's immaterial. Cheers! Tom
