Just to prove a bloody point, let's see the first santa letter again to
see how "Nothing points to Chris and everything points to Tushar". Please
do me a favour, everyone, and now read the letter with some attention to
the content.
___________________________________________________________________________

Well, well, well.  I leave this list for a year or two, and come back to this.
ggs (what's your real name, anyway), you're new since the last time I was here.
Seems like you've caused a little broohaha. Knock it off.

Chris, aka, lob (what the hell does that mean?), leave ggs alone. He's old and
seems lonely. Let him play his games and don't get so uptight about it.

Natalie:  It seems as though the list has run a little amuck.  Why all the
stupid, vapid postings?  Where's the interesting stuff that used to be here?
Why all the one line postings that mean absolutely nothing?  Substance, people,
substance.  Half of the postings are now drivel.  Don't you one-liners,
especially the new ones,  know how to shut up and just listen. Tushar still has
a knack for getting off a good one, as does the Venerable and Lovely abh.  ggs
hasn't found it yet. Somebody work on him (I gather ggs is a *him* from the
infrequent postings I've read.  (Yes, I'm on a news reader.  So, you've guessed
that much.) I'm sorry if I'm wrong, ggs. (BTW, the game was a little tactless
and somewhat stupid, but rather funny. Who the heck voted abh as a liberal? I
guess every barroom has got to have a Cliff.  Do you deliver mail, by any
chance?)).

Bill S: So you're in Ireland now.  The one lone conservative beacon amongst the
rocks of liberalness.  Knock 'em dead.

Steve and Martly:  Finish the damn chess game.

abh: you're the best!  Keep it up.  Even your one-liners are worth reading.

So long until Christmas!!!

No, Graham didn't specify the time of year.... but here, closer to the equator
than the region he was talking of, there is very little change in the direction
of sunrise or sunset... what changes in the inclination of the arc the sun
travels.

The most disorientating experience, I've ever had with this was while visiting
my sister in Perth (on the west coast) and watching the sun rise over land
and set over the ocean. I lost all sense of direction because it was the
complete reverse of what I was used to. So I can understand why anyone from
the northern hemisphere would feel out of place 'down under'.

No, Tushar, this is e-space where I meet my friends for civilized conversation.
This is the place where I feel least-obliged to have a separate persona, and
having met many of the people on the list, I prefer this, thank you very much.
I don't mind *your* being schizophrenic, but it *does* get wearing, and I have

Motorcyclists generally eschew language that is grounded in automotive
parlance. We would never "rev" a bike. We might "roll on the throttle,"
though. Sitting at a stoplight making the engine roar for the benefit of
passersby is not known as revving, either. That is "blipping the
throttle." Of course, none of this applies to Harley riders, or to the
owners of Japanese cruiser-type v-twins. They have their own names for
everything. Oh yeah, and riding at top speed is called "WFO," for "Wide
F***ing Open."

Greetings,

Total Federal receipts declined between 1982 and 1983 while total
outlays increased.  In 1982, total federal receipts totalled 617.8 billion.
In 1983 they totalled 600.6 billion.  Over the same period, outlays
increased from 745.7 billion to 808.3 billion (I'm getting these
figures from the 1987 Statistical Abstract, since the 1991 edition
doesn't have the details for these years).  Federal revenues take many
forms, of course:

Source                     1982          1983
Individual income tax      297.7         288.9
Corp. income tax            49.2          37.0
Social insurance taxes
and contributions          201.5         209.0
Employment taxes and
contributions              180.7         185.8
Unemployment ins.          16.6          18.8
Contributions for other
ins. and retirement         4.2           4.4
Excise taxes               36.3          35.3
Estate and gift taxes       8.0           6.1
Customs duties             8.9            8.7
Misc receipts              16.2          15.6
Federal reserve
earning deposits           15.2          14.5

All figures are billions of dollars (and I hope I typed everything properly).

During this same two year period, the GNP rose from  3,166.0 billion to
3,401.6 billion.

Steve has proposed that a decline in tax rates will lead to a decline in
tax evasion (as I understand his argument).  That is likely true in a
rigorously modelled exercise.  It seems likely to me, however, that
the lower rate (which is a disincentive in such a model, owing to the
reduced gains to be had from cheating) is only one of many factors.  Other
factors that would necessarily play a role include: the likelihood of being
caught, the perception of opportunity, the degree of motivation (that is,
the degree of need, assuming some cheaters do so out of financial
desperation), and the perception of tax equity (other factors may come to
mind, but these are enough for now).

If there is any empirical evidence to support the proposition that lowered
rates lead to reduced cheating, I'd be interested in hearing of it.

Some religious commentary from Evelyn Duncan:

I seem to recall the Minister of Continuing Education for Mission or
whatever her title was preaching at least one sermon at the Underwood
Memorial Baptist Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.  Of course that was
American Baptist, and after one of the periodic schisms in the
congregation, the minister left for a Unitarian church, so maybe my
counterexample isn't really a disproof.

     I do not recall Graham specifying time of year when he gave the
directions for sunrise and sunset.  And I do beleive that those
directions change during the course of the year, switching from NE-NW
to SE-SW and back during those quaint things called equinoxes.  As you
come to know Graham, you learn that he really is a good sort, given
the sort that he is.
