Ray,   I was obviously kidding.   Or, not so obvious, for off you went into a psychological analysis of me, of which endeavor I'm not sure you are completely competent.   I did meet you on your turf - but you weren't there.   Harry   ******************************************** Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles Box 655  Tujunga  CA  91042 Tel: 818 352-4141  --  Fax: 818 353-2242 http://haledward.home.comcast.net ********************************************     From: Ray Evans Harrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 9:30 PM To: Harry Pollard; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Slightly extended (was Re: [Futurework] David Ricardo, Cavema n Trade vs. Modern Trade Harry said again: What they work for is food, clothing and shelter. When the basics are dealt with, perhaps then they'll devote some time to the arts - such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, and of course, Britney Spears.   Answer:   That's not the arts that's entertainment.   Re-read the fifty assumptions.   The basic arts is what made you suck in the first place.   Entertainment is relaxation in the traditional and predictable.    The arts are always on the same cutting edge as when you first searched for the nipple at your mother's breast.   Searching, finding, fulfillment.   Consonance, dissonance in quantifiable aural forms that develop the mind and enrich the whole person's thinking.   You are still talking pablum while I am talking steak.   The problem Harry is that you model is based only on economics when the meaning of existance is a mix and balance of values not just the values of one limb on the tree at the expense of the roots.    You'll have to get beyond mere relaxation before you understand the human meaning imbedded in the arts.   If I were to compare it to math I would say that you are talking addition to a physicist.   There are some things that just can't be explained without a meeting of the minds.    If you worked as hard to meet me on my turf as I have worked to do the same for you then we could do a lot.  I know we could.   REH       --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
