- Ok, I guess something lucid must be introduced here, because I am so
- sick of the political crap flying around the net.
-
- Anybody see Sneakers? You introduce an idea to someone, if he/she
- believes it, it happens whether or not it is correct.
-
- In other words, we are going to see a change in the economy because Bill
- Clinton got elected. We would have seen a change in the economy if
- Perot was elected. Why? Because the people have associated the bad
- times and economy with George Bush. Maybe this is not reality, but
- because the majority (obviously) believe it THAT BECOMES REALITY. The
- economy is defined mostly by what people believe. So Clinton is in
- office. The people wanted a CHANGE. Whether or not Clinton is a good
- president, the economy will improve BECAUSE THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IT WILL.
- That's all. It's really rather simple.
-
- It's like sports. You've been having a bad season, and also your fans
- haven't been coming to as many games (less turnout). So the team gets
- depressed, and starts screwing up their playing to the point that less
- fans come. They get more depressed. They're still the same team, even
- when all of a sudden the stadium is packed and the fans are going wild.
- Since the fans are there, they must be great! So they win the game.
- Why? Because they believed they could.
-
- Never underestimate the power of freewill.
-
- Anyway, enough of my non-politically-correct leftwing idealistic puke,
- on with the regularly scheduled c.s.a.hardware...
