Yes, Brass, I was here when you shared your idea. I remember the folks here, albeit like dead beats in a saloon...d'oh...
but back then the idea of a message board was so new, a lot of people thought they could say whatever came out of mouth and onto the other person's sleeve----giving no mind...and no matter as to how it might have hurt.
Now adays we are all more tolerant and less likely to put a bastardly spin on someone's thoughts....well, at least I haven't been bashed as I probably would have been by now, if it were 7 years ago. (I had just joined after 9-11)
Anyway, remember the gentleman who was in his 70's, I think? I think his name was Ray. I should remember because he was an artist and he sent me and my father some of his drawings. He was a good soul. I enjoyed reading him on the board, but he too was hit pretty heavy; the bullies in town.
He once told me that your idea was at least worth a thought. His ideas were somewhere along the lines of Pat Buchannen
http://wordpress.com/tag/pat-buchannen/So, now I would like to read what you have to say about your idea, Brass....sincerely.
Fill me in as if you wanted me to share this with my students====a sort of student friendly approach, if you will.
Not that I would do that, but I need to understand what you have to offer...I am willing to listen. I am a newbie when it comes to much of the economic discussions around here, and that's why I enjoy learning more than posting.
Bt just posted something here, and he too has a lot to teach someone like me.
As I read you both, I can just see the two of you coming together as talking heads in a meeting on wall street;
Seriously, I would love to hear you both talk about the ideas you have. ...Point/counter point.
