[Rhodes22-list] Correction to Special Reply for Peter L., Andrew C., ............

[Brad Haslett]

Ed,

Read Dr. Sowells latest book "Economic Facts and Fallacies" just
published - excellent as usual.

Yesterday I was in the buffateria of the training department drinking
coffee with a dozen or so pilots.  CNN was on in the background when
an interview with an Obama voter came on the screen and caught
everyone's attention.The voter said to the interviewer, "I think it's
time we shared some money with the younger generation instead of the
big corporations".  In unison, about six heads dropped and someone
muttered, "this country is so f--ked".  The level of ignorance
regarding simple economics among our citizenry truly is discouraging.
As my wife has been saying lately, "maybe they deserve a dose of
socialism".  People with experience with central government planning
want no part of it in their lives ever again.
