As always, A Hopeless Romantic You are and Will always BE

Always ! That, and singing Baroque - Renaissance music, keeps me sane.

Tom could relate story upon story of professional economics officers merely stymied by an African economy gone wild, but yet still stable enough to trade USD in front of the US Embassy in broad daylight (except on Sundays).

I've heard that one . Actually, it's a really good case in point - so many "economists" confuse the formality with the reality (the Substantivist-Formalist debate for those with a passing academic interest).

Really enjoyed Dr. McFate's response (even better than the draft). Kinda "get your Sierra bible studies in order" or "take no prisoners" approach

I hope she doesn't come down with a case of PSTSD (Post-Structuralist Traumatic Stress Disorder; similar to PTSD or Shell Shock, PSTSD frequently affects people who have to deal with theologically inclined academics). Actually, I like her style, too. I think she would be a lot of fun to get into a proper, Anthro style, argument with; aka argue about nothing important just for the fun of it with a lot of booze

Man, it's warm there! We had a frost warning last night...
