Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

The Life - and Death - of the American Dream

Thank you for a most informative, and disheartening, presentation. When the first Arab oil embargo occurred in 1973, though a very young man, I had a sense that life in America was changing in a very significant way. You've done an excellent job in clarifying the issue for me. Thanks, Bill
