The CBC NZ documentary file was rejected by the Pen machine -- it was
too large. When I find out how to proceed with sending the file to
the csf at Colorado, I'll do so and tell folks how to access it
there.

I'm sorry, I can't let Jim Craven's savage misrepresentation of Herb
Gintis and his work go by without rebuttal. I disagree strongly with
much of Herb's work; in fact I've spent a lot of time on this net
criticizing his and Sam's approach to "contested exchange." Even so
I have no doubt abou
Gil, I do not think you are correct in alleging that Herb was "chased off
this list." It is true that things became heated. Herb said things that he
knew would aggravate people.
Others responded intemperately.
Breaches of manners occured on all sides, but no chasing took place.

A private post has confirmed that I did in fact miss a key part of
Herb's "contributions" to the net, suggesting that Michael's
assessment of the situation was accurate. I apologize and disavow
my suggestion that Herb was "chased off the net." I continue to feel

Well, I did hear that around 30% of the voters self-
Great Idea Mike! You help Cuba both ways. In the end the money stays there. I
hope "friends of Cuba" will not run over Cuba, the way average western tourist

In Virgina, several sources have reported that the turn out
of the African-American community (as a percent of those registered)
was 80 percent. Of course, most of this was due to Doug Wilder's
late endorsement of Robb and Wilder's enormous efforts of mobilizing
the African American voters. It

Good idea Mike, re the CUBA bonds. But one amendment.
I would suggest that they be 1 year. Here's why. First,
the situation has to change, real soon, or CUBA doesn't
have 5 years. Second, your method of cashing in -- that
is redemned by going to CUBA and exchanged for accomodation
or something
After election days make me feel very out of touch with mainstream American
thinking.
Is it possible for the Democratic Party to grow a left wing? Do people want it,
or will they turn to libertarians for answers? Anymore I feel that the Labor
Party wouldn't have a chance over right parties. Wil
About 39% of the voting age public actualkly voted. CNN reports that
non-parti-cipants are predominantly Democrats; & studies show clearly an inverse
relation
between non-participation & income. Cheers -- Eric Schutz
Just to respond to Heather's note on the elections and the prospects
for a third party: I think it's important not to read too much into
these election results in terms of what they mean about the electorate.
First, the turnout was about 39%, 52% of whom voted Republican, which
means only about 20

The Cuban Friendship Bonds idea appeals to me. I would

Just a postscript to my previous note on the elections: After reading
Bob Pollin's postings, I think he is correct about the damage that
Clinton and other Democrats have inflicted on
themselves, and by association on the left, by abandoning any kind of
program that would actually benefit working

In my social stratification class the topic of inheritance laws came up. I
have some information about it but it is dated. Does anyone know what
the current laws do (e.g., what is the amount not taxed and what
percent is taxed above that amount), and what changes, if any, have been
proposed
As I remember it after a certain amount the Federal inheritance tax is
55% and then you also have different state taxes. The Republicans recently
tried to move the tax down to 50%.
