Hi JW, I think the article is a super read, summing up what is wrong and all that isn't right, and pointing to interesting links enabling further pondering over what is, and what might be. In the near future, offer some options and counter moves for the folks who might have thought about what you wrote and desire a way to, as much as possible, opt-out of the current mess. While time should be running short, but the powers that be has much strength left to resist what ultimately will still be, per Script. Chugs, Jay

JW - did a quick search on Google for "Kondratieff" on .edu URLs - 2460 hits. Hard to agree that the long wave cycle is totally ignored by academics. That being said, I don't disagree with your POV. What seems to me to be lacking, from economics to Kyoto, is the ability for individuals of all education levels to think critically . Put your trust in Abby Joe while checking your brain at the door. My personal suspicion is that this fuzzy, follow-the-heard thinking has resulted from a generation-long experiment with feel good education. I think that one of the most important things we can give our kids is a healthy mistrust of conventional thinking. Hugh A.
