I understand that Minx. I was suggesting that many find that "settling" was the necessary antecedent to "settling down." By the way settling isn't always a bad thing.

PP-- i don't get it, did your friend feel that his buddies had settled? or did he feel like his pals were cheating on him? i just wonder how many of these guys whining about wanting all this time to go climbing w/o bitching from their g/f a) actually want a g/f or would be just as happy w/ a fuck buddy (not passing judgement here, nothing wrong w/either answer) b) would be as patient if their g/f had an activity/hobby other than climbing that took her away from home/the relationship for extended time periods. Settling was unrelated to the marrige comment. There is nothing wrong with a fuck buddy but at some point many decide that "settling" maybe isn't so bad ...

'Chelle - You might be running into him at your work soon. By he isn't single and has kids now...

"Let out" sounds like a tailor's job; technically it was a "furlough."

Minx - There is a point in life where "settling" is quite often preferred to "optimizing." Once a friend told me that he felt betrayed every time one of his climbing buddies got married.

The RC forum was created after the early cc.com discussions and since I have moderating powers only in the RC there is no way I could have moderated the thread in any manner at all.

Jim what would they have been if the recessison was significant? Of coure your last comment avoids that issue.

Lower Taxes? Hell Yea! The evolution of the economy after 2000 was, of course, entirely different than after 1929, and we have previously attributed this to the aggressive easing of monetary policy that sustained a major boom in residential construction and in sales of consumer durables sufficient largely to offset the decline of investment in equipment and software. A second difference was the aggressive easing of fiscal policy in 2001-03 through a succession of reductions in Federal income tax rates, including the tax rates on capital gains and dividends.

In all my years in politics, I've never sensed such anger and frustration from our volunteers -- those who do the hard work of door-to-door mobilization that Republican candidates depend on to get elected. Across the nation, wherever I go to speak with them, their refrain is the same: "I can't tell a dime's worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats." Our base rightly expects Republicans to govern by the principles -- lower taxes, less government and more freedom -- that got them elected. Today, with Republicans controlling both the legislative and executive branches of the federal government, there is a widening credibility gap between their political rhetoric and their public policies.
