BUFFALO JEANS : The depression in fact was a good example of Keynsian economics working.If you check the books, you will find that the GDP in the US was higherin 1936 than in 1929. The New Deal, heavily influenced by Keynes, worked.The plunge in 1937 can be attributed to two factors. 1- bad advice to FDRto balance the budget, and 2- the repeal of three main New Deal programsas unconstitutional. Keynes got the US out of the depression. The USrenewed the depression until you all finally got into the war.Then to Galbraith and Kennedy. In fact, Galbraith did not have a great dealof influence in the Kennedy admin. He was in India, after all, and most ofthe other advisors disagreed with him, ensuring that nothing substantialwas discussed when he was back in the US for a break. The bad advice thatKennedy took, that Galbraith opposed, was to lower taxes in the 1961 boom.This is typical of the way Keynes is misinterpreted. While most can followthe bit about lots of spending during bad times, few follow the bit aboutmoderating the good times to pay for the bad. Keynes wanted to moderate theentire business cycle. In practice, we normally only try to moderate thebusts. This is why there have been problems.
BUFFALO JEANS : My point on images is that they are infinite in the sense that once theyare created, frequently they maintain themselves. Also, you only need toproduce the idea once to sell to five billion consummers. This is nearlyinfinite supply. For example, take, say, blue jeans. I wear Levi's, mybrother wears Buffalo. They are nearly indistinguishable- except in price.His cost almost twice mine, yet last no longer, and work no better. ButBuffalo jeans are cool, at least in my part of the world. This is an image.It is held by nearly all. And since only Buffalo jeans, by definition, canproduce Buffalo jeans, is this not a monoply?My final point, regarding comparisons between countries, is that Japan isa less free economy than the US. Can you accept that? Should that not thenshow that Japan's economy is less efficient than the US, even if neitherare perfectly efficient, if your model is valid? But the reverse is true.By accepted economic standards, namely the overall growth rate, the Japaneseeconomy is outperforming its American counterpart. This supports mymodel of economics. If you cannot accept that the comparison is validbecause neither PERFECTLY fit your ideal, then you might as well argue aboutthe anatomy of a unicorn, or how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.Why restrict yourself to reality at all?Please note, this is not a personal attack. I don't think I've made any atyou. I am attempting to prove that your economic model is inherentlyflawed, or else too divorced from reality to be useful. This is not personal.In fact, I kind of like you. You provide intersting arguement, and makeme refine and rethink my own economic model, Frank. And I suspect that Jimand even Iain feel the same way.(although god only knows I do not want toput words in their mouths) So enough about our rudeness. Answer my arguements,that's all I try to do to you.

BUFFALO JEANS : The cool way to get out of jeans is simple. You usethe toe of one boot on the heel of the other get your boots off then, standing on your left foot, you raise your right leg. You grab the pants leg with one hand while holding up the pants with the other hand and swiftly remove your foot from the leg of the pants and put the foot back on the floor. Repeat for the other leg.Now leather pants require another method. You get reminded of the need for a different method when you are terribly absent minded. There you are in your heavy duty buffalo hide jeans. You raise your right leg, grab the bottom of the leg with one hand and hold up the pants with the other. As you perform the motion to swiftly remove your foot from the pants, it happens. That restriction you felt was the 3/4 lining as it attached itself firmly to your heel. Your foot is out of the pants leg but still attached to the lining. If these were denim jeans, you could just release the top of the pants. They would drop to the ground and you could extract your foot. While not terribly cool looking this would work. But, no,these are the super heavy weight buffalo hide jeans. They won't drop more than an inch without both hands pushing them down. There you are, on one leg, trying with the free hand to unsnag the lining while looking frantically for something to lean against or grab. Nothing there... Now you still can't get the lining free and you start looking for sharp corners you can avoid as you fall. Elaborate scenarios play out in your head of you laying in a bleeding heap on the floor as some paramedics patch your head and remove your foot from the lining of your heavy weight buffalo hide jeans.
BUFFALO JEANS : No, wait... YES, its free. You do that small back step that gymnasts get points deducted for and grin like all hell. If cool is a ten you are still at 6.3 just because they are the heavy weight buffalo hide jeans and you only have one more leg to get out.On Fri, 25 May 2001 22:04:25 GMT, Doug Wyman wrote, heavilyedited:ISTR studies which show that one of the most frequent causes of householdinjury is people getting trapped and falling over while trying to take offtheir trousers or underwear.Chris "Is that a pickle in your jock or can't you get them off?" HansenThe government usually bends over backwards to protect usfrom ourselves, whenever anything is found to cause the leastbit of injury. When are they going to outlaw the wearing ofpants and underwear? And how can I do my part to make thishappen as soon as possible?No, not the "I am in a promising local band" one, nor "Let the fuckingbegin". And not any of "End racism, kill everyone", "I enjoy drinkingbeer", or "Your favorite band sucks".
