[Rhodes22-list] More crabbing

[Rik Sandberg]

Had a landing like that in a 737 at O'hare (windy city, what a surprise) 
back in the 90s. Looking down the runway through the side window of the 
airplane was an experience I'll not forget soon. It was, let's say, 
exhilarating ..... I have to admit to some relief after I realized the 
landing gear had held.

There is no magic to Free Enterprise. It is the best way to create wealth, but it does not prevent people from making mistakes. Capitalism offers people a chance to make money. But it also offers them a chance to make fools of themselves. Free Enterprise – like the rest of life – merely permits nature to take her course.....Bill Bonner
