... and then proceeded to 'counter' my arguments with material that
basically confirmed what I was saying.

What I was saying, distilled to its essence, is that NAIRU is rhetorical and
not scientific in the sense of some disinterested search for truth. What Jim
responded with was examples of why the rhetoric of NAIRU is understandable,
given a capitalist society and a profoundly reactionary political culture in
the U.S. I have no particular objection to viewing NAIRU in that way.

Now, I really will change the subject. What we are _really_ talking about
here is green cheese and why capitalists have to tell workers that the green
cheese factory is on the moon.
