<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1988279, member: 71723&quot;]Paragraph 1 - Brilliant stuff.</p><p>Paragraph 2 - Two personal issues. ENVIRONMENTAL economics? Wow, talk about era disconnects! I have a near total disdain for a lot of environmental science, but I never considered it as an Econ specialty. The initial Clean Water Act overstated environmental silver&#039;s toxicity by a factor of 100,000,000 times by using the wrong species, nitrate versus sulfides and sulfates, and that experience destroyed my trust in enviro-much-of-anything. Second, I believe that emerging markets are sketchy for macroeconomic analysis purposes because most have proven unable to take advantage of nearly unlimited potential due to a nearly complete inability to minimize corruption and maximize the skills of their work forces and/or cultural proclivities.</p><p>Paragraph 3 - very astute stuff when viewed holistically. Bravos.</p><p>Paragraph 4 - regulations. Ask not for whom the bell tolls .....</p><p>Paragraph 5 - I consider my life entirely too short (literally, medical reasons) to spend time where I feel unwelcome, and Holy Molies, I feel unwelcome here on CT.</p><p>Paragraph 6 - Ding! Ding! Ding!</p><p>Paragraph 7 - Silver&#039;s antibacterial properties are well known, having been known and documented since the 1700&#039;s, but hyping marketers use them unashamedly. We used to put silver nitrate in newborn babies&#039; eyes, but that use was replaced by antibacterial ointments in the 1960&#039;s. Copper? Yo no sé, señor.</p><p>On balance, it&#039;s been a pleasure, NK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
