Keynes was an imperialist, sent over by london to try to thwart FDR's american system approach. For more on this see the 1932 video on <a href="http://www.larouchepac.com" rel="nofollow">www.larouchepac.com</a> I would also add that one can even find the documents on the web, where Keynes complains to Churchill that FDR does not listen to him.

Ummmm would that involve gate crashers and tear gas and an early afternoon spectator falling off one of the rocks to his death? Yeah, great concert on so many levels. Memorable for sure. Especially while tripping the whole time. "the infamous Tull concert" ? ? ?

We used to bicycle and later drive up just to hang out somewhere cool and beautiful; my brother tells me this is no longer permitted. Plus yeah, a lot of concerts, including the infamous Tull concert. Roosevelt's Alphabet Agencies did a lot for Colorado infrastructure; much of it is still there in National Parks and Forests and Monuments, and will probably be for centuries. I now live in Connecticut, and the local post office has a lovely mural painted by some locally famous artist. It's too bad Obama isn't promoting such, but on the other hand any workers that got injured, even their hurt widdle feelings, would probably find a nice John Edwards style lawyer to sue for them. And of course they would want union wages and perks, and the unions, who pretty much own Obama, would want them to have those wages and perks, and a union card as well. Plus we seem to be fresh out of fresh faced farm boys. I suppose the teachers union and the Govt office workers unions would seriously object to their oh-so-productive members actually doing anything, well, productive.

Current gov't stimulus isn't even make-work, b/c they do it without making anything and without putting anyone to work. Enjoy Phish, Trey is awesome live.

I'm lucky, I live here in Colorado so I get to experience Red Rocks every summer, you're right it's one of the best outdoor amphitheaters in the world, IMHO.
