Heavens no. Everyone has a right to their mistakes. I finally got to watch the dvd "The Smartest Guys in the Room" about Enron this evening. Skilling et al provide the nearest empirical examples of what mainstreamers think they're talking about when they patronizingly hurl such a muddled term as unlimited wants at the rest of us. They can keep on keepin' on with their illusions, here in Enronistan and elsewhere. I'm thinking of amending Shakespeare's great one liner....................:-)
