hanging around in the mens room after he has done his business = gay.

If there was some creepy dude with a bow tie and a notebook staring at me I might get out quick too... But seriously, how can there be so many people who don't wash their hands? Especially in a public restroom. You don't know who grabbed that handle before you. Why not just lick the urinal. That's so nasty.

Kind of says it all about "the truth".

Hypocrisy is a moral failing, not a logical one. Shocker.

Very good lecture - I like professors who explain scientific data with every-day problems. Actually on my university Dortmund, Germany) we have a physics Prof. who talks about the stunts in James Bond films in odrder to explain kinematics (etc.) His name is Metin Tolan. The lectures are just great.

This book wasn't really about economics, it's about strange counter-intuitive cause and effect in the modern world.

For a real and fantastic book about economics, read Economics In One Lesson, by Henry Hazlatt

in summary..the greed or 'want' of perfecting the income generating machine (business,stock,real estate etc.) for man has created a perfect way for finding the truth for any question possible through the input of economics' statistical procedures which gives an output (REALITY)
