Yessir. I think you're right. We should onviously just surrender to Canada since they are so clearly a race of superior beings. No chance of that being written by Greenspan. I understood it and that never happened with Greenspan.

It was written by Greenspan---trust me! If you read the biographies of Ayn Rand By Barbara or Nathaniel Branden and others...you will understand how the young Greenspan was completely committed to her philosophy of Objectivism. He was one of the "inner circle". He has never said anything to indicate that his beliefs have changed. Certainly, he has demonstrated a commitment to pragmatism in personal achievement over strict principle--but that is another story... :-) "OK, you win. The world is ending." Of course the world is ending. Probably not soon, though... I don't know what you think I have won. The view that artificial money backed by smoke and mirrors is bound to run into a brick wall (or a violent war) given enough time is fairly mainstream and certainly not extravagant. I understand that economics is pretty subjective and that your views are well represented.
