I'll tell you what's ludicrous, Mr. Nobleness, (oops, did I make a typo), is that everything you had to say in the past several post could have been put into one sentence and saved readers a lot of time with your filibuster tactics. Debate, if you will, but please be more concise. SIS

N.O. Thank you for restating your belief that you owe nothing to the unpaying customer. Interestingly you aver that the customer gets what he pays for. That would be nice! How many of your customers are happily in accord? You quite correctly suggest I abandon the tea leaves. I have done so... they continually pointed me in the same direction as your voluminous postings, although they did not leave nearly so bad an aftertaste. Concomitantly, I have ceased making further supplication at the Altar of the God of Fortunate Chance (AKA. Blind Luck) I have remaining to me the rather tricky science of chicken bones and of course the fishguts strategem which would not interest you. You opine that I haven't a clue. Perhaps, but while it escapes the attention of the learned few, it is patently obvious to me that our Goldilock economy exists only because wage pressure remains under wraps as a consequence of the cheap work force in the rest of the world. The resultant growing balance of trade deficit that the Administration hails as "good" will in the not too distant future wreak havoc on world economies as SEA finds itself buying its own cheap products with all of our monopoly money they have managed to corral. When these other-world economies return to a policy of rejecting our "tough guy on the street" bullying in the international trade arena, the concessions won for MOT and others by our Dept. of Commerce will evaporate. We will be stuck with trying to buy our own relatively expensive products which the rest of the world has rejected, with money we no longer have. A wage driven inflation scenario will duke it out with a deflation scenario for the right to claim victory over our greedy souls! Funny? NO! Ludicrous? Perhaps, but not of my making.
