Hi! Thanks again for the reply Chris.
Re: In a message dated 98-05-13 10:03:44 EDT, you write:
<< We want
to reproduce, but not so much that we are naturally selected to populate
the planet to death. That's terminal. We only started doing this recently.
Its partly technological, but largely to do with male reproductive anxiety
and control. >>
I agree - but . . .
What in your opinion causes this male reproductive anxiety and control? I
think man's anxiety is caused by his need to HUNT and now that he does not
(usually) hunt for his own food - he has to hunt for other things . . .
substituting the excitement of going after something (food) for his own
survival with material things - thus, causing overconsumption and greed.
Trying to fill a void that has been created - Also anxiety over the lack of
control he can have over woman who are now becoming independent - What is
your opinion Chris or anyone else who has opinion about this I would love to
hear it?
Thanks! Angela

Subject:Teaching Math over the years (Joke--maybe)
Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1970:
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The
cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. The
set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set
What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?
Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do
you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation
after answering the question? How did the forest birds and squirrels
feel
as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.
Teaching Math in 1996:
By laying off 402 of its loggers, a company improves its stock price
from $80 to $100. How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by
exercising his stock options at $80. Assume capital gains are no longer
taxed, because this encourages investment.
Teaching Math in 1997:
A company outsources all of its loggers. They save on benefits and
when demand for their product is down the logging work force can easily
be cut back. The average logger employed by the company earned $50,000,
had 3 weeks vacation, received a nice retirement plan and medical
insurance.
The contracted logger charges $50 an hour. Was outsourcing a good move?
Teaching Math in 1998:
A logging company exports its wood-finishing jobs to its Indonesian
subsidiary and lays off the corresponding half of its US workers (the
higher-paid half). It clear-cuts 95% of the forest, leaving the rest
for the spotted owl, and lays off all its remaining US workers. It tells
the workers that the spotted owl is responsible for the absence of
fellable trees and lobbies Congress for exemption from the Endangered
Species Act. Congress instead exempts the company from all federal
regulation. What is the return on investment of the lobbying?
Thanks,
Daniel
