What a thought! No e-mail!
I was just looking at an Internet site for a famouse Southwestern Museum and it is very descriptive and helpful but no E-mail address.
It has telephone numbers to call for information.
Is this institution behind the times? Or with a very adequate Internet site, maybe they are telling us something.
E-mail is not all that it is cracked up to be. With the ability to delete and never face another human being, maybe the age of the robot is facing a downturn on the curve as people realize how important a real human being on the phone or in person is - maybe ten times the jack waste of e-mail.
The classics never go out of style. I hope the human race realizes what a gift and what a great value human beings are and how great human direct communication can be.
Put humanity back into all our equations.

American Industrial Redevelopment Bank Needed
Like some third world countries asking for basic loans to build basic infrastructure, it is time to rebuild the decimated industrial base of the American Economy.
I am not talking about municipal bonds to build schools and roads but while we are on the subject, that sounds like a good idea.
Our money system is mixed where the Fed ignores housing inflation and the underground cash economy. The Fed is myopic and only sees Wall Street as the alpha omega of any and all possible investment.
We used to have factories my fine white collared suits currently standing waist high in the debris of the current economic meltdown.
Lets get some new ideas, common sense ideas. Lets start categorizing money according to usage and national need.
Let us start to issue bonds or notes to develop industrial parks building only GREEN. Or refit obsolete automobile assembly lines to do so. It is time to archive an obsolete one size fits all banks Hamiltonian, general nineteenth century Wall Street only money need basis.
Let Americans buy Industrial Redevelopment Notes and make them tax free on interest until America regains its place in the world or at least has a safe at home industrial base to protect in its defense against foreign domination in the industrial sector. Let only industrial lending be done with this bond generated money.
Let the treasury only notes, cash/cash general purpose junk notes, continue to be issued and tax the hell out of money that does not build but only parasites and ponzis money off other money.
Our brilliant nineteenth century economists need new ideas and new formulas that put people, American people, back into all levels of economic equations and dequations.

Economic Dequations - American Style
I am not talking about economic equations.
I am wondering when the prices of houses in the United States skyrocketed out of the reach for the average wage earner - where on all this pious horses***, meal ticket, economics, academic, Chinese checker rules - style federal bureaucratic equations – where did the “inflation” of the price of housing doubling and tripling and quadrupling in a decade – where were these precious announcements from the Federal Reserve Bank about this unaccounted for housing inflation?
The Economics reported in government statistics is many times footnoted to say that this or that segment of the economy with growth or downturn is factored into or out of any general prognostication or economic forecasts and the like.
Didn’t anybody in the government get fired some week or two ago when the news was announced that the recession started last December? What a joke for what passes for competence these days in the fading old dream of America. We are not laughing.
In fact I think I heard the retired Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank deliver a few pearls of wisdom from his sermons on the mount delivered before Congress in Congressional investigative hearings. I heard a teaspoon of warning about the possible dangers of unbridled deregulation or what not. Then I heard about five pounds worth of "if workers wages go up that would be a dangerous thing – inflationary".
I am talking off the cuff here. But there are many network news stations and major newspapers who seemed to rubber stamp what seemed more like Public Relation Press Releases from the Fed instead of challenging the voodoo, K-Y jelly, free market, 24/7, non-stop economic mantra heard over American airwaves and in newspapers these past decades. That to tell you the truth, what I heard or read back when did not sound or look like the macro or micro economics 101 and 102 that I took freshman year in college.
The retired Chairman, venerated as he was for decades, was in fact retired the first day he took office for all the good or real warning or real sound economic advice that he never bothered to dispense to prevent the present financial meltdown and crisis.
"Faded Jaded Mandarin", a lyric from somewhere, would have been a better title for the Fed Chairman but let us not do the blame game. He looked out his front door and there were no riots or blood in the streets – so his Economic Dequation – like some weather reports was good with only a chance of cloudiness.
And they pay people to do this? Wow! America is a great country! (or at least it once was)
