Would the rich, with proportionally more in the stock market, be disadvantaged 
by drops in stock prices? I suppose, on the other hand, they would tend to have 
enough cash or equivalent to to take advantage of the price drops to buy stocks 
at reduced prices.

Hi, Dave,

Given that the super rich have the resiliency to respond to any crisis, I have 
a hard time imagining  anything that would disadvantage them EXCEPT taxing the 
living daylights out of them.  We did pretty well on 90% marginal tax rates.

I agree about the White Quarantine.

I once taught an honors course, with Father Smith at St. Thomas on the 
Anthropology and Theology of War. One of the prime forces behind war — since 
prehistory — had been nothing more than birth control.

Well, in a sense that’s correct.  But their method of “birth

 is not one that I am prepared to take as a model.  Just imagine the worst sort 
of dystopian post apocalyptic novel.  See the description of the Calhoun 
experiment on p 224.

Maybe the rats were right?
