>PS: Lawrence Kam, did you know your boy, Alan Greenspan, helped to create the Year 2000 problem? He mentioned today that when he was writing software about thirty years ago, people figured the software would last two or three years, and then be replaced. But it didn't work out that way, and now we have the Year 2000 problem. Didn't pick that up from his speech. bog.frb.fed.us "It is difficult to prove, but arguably luck, the great random leveler in the market place, appears to play an ever smaller role in determining success and failure in today's just-in-time, high quality, productive systems." DAMN! DOUBLE DAMN!!! On a more reflective note: "There remains a large segment of the population that still considers capitalism and its emphasis on materialism, in all its forms, degrading to man's spiritual nature. In addition, even some of those who seek material welfare, view competitive markets as subject to manipulation by mass promotion and advertising that drives consumers to desire and seek superficial and ephemeral values." Looks like the old man still has all his marbles.
