But in your own style...you should be providing me proof of your assertion. I gave a link to a major economic indicator that refutes you. You stated opinion. I provided a fact. Unemployment is high. So you asserted. To which you were shown to be wrong by the facts. (lower that historical average and trending >down<. The truth is that you know the economy is getting worse. You're just picking and choosing your facts in an attempt to "prove" I'm wrong. The truth is that I >know< no such thing. Your attempting to push off >your< belief as >my< reality. Tough. You chose the fact. I proved you wrong. Choose some more. I'll support them or refute them as necessary. No, I'm not the one that would weasel. You're the one who's already started misquoting me. And it's only been one post. Ah...here's the difference. You're weaseling about the actual issue...and then blowing smoke about me "weaseling" by making a joke about it being a "friendly wager".

Post #59,442 by Brandioch 10/25/02 2:30:46 PM Reply	I asked if you wanted to bet. But in your own style...you should be providing me proof of your assertion. I made a prediction. The economy is going to get worse. You seemed to be saying that it wouldn't. I am willing to bet on my prediction. You are not. The proof will be whether my prediction comes true. Because you are afraid of betting for your position, it shows that you do not actually believe your position.
Post #59,447 by bepatient 10/25/02 2:53:24 PM Reply	Even more typical. Pick the tiny part that you can get a toehold...and continue. Especially since you know you were proved wrong on one of your >facts<. So now you want to play with predictions...and accuse me of weaseling by making a joke that everyone else understood. And there are enough indicators around that we could right shift several fora when you decide (which I am certain you will)...that the indicators >I< provide don't really indicate a better economy because pork bellies are still depressed. I've got better things to do with my time than to teach you economics. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

You may read tea leaves, scan money velocities or sacrifice a burger-flipper to Adam Smith - and decide which market indicators you believe. I'll go with the psyche of the Leaders, their plans, the mood of the workers [thus buyers of Stuff] about: tax rebates for the rich + Billions of their retirement funds absconded with, and only a token few eventually being show-'tried' (all while knowing fershure that: the biz-stolen funds won't ever be returned). Bet proposed: One year 10/25/03 - the economy is further down than it is today - by recognized rococo biz-speak categories thoroughly exhausting the Econ-significance of the word down. USD 20 ? Got that famous courage of convictions ? Otherwise, neither opinion is worth that (at least measurable) pitcher of warm spit\ufffd Ashton Buggsy S.
