In a paper entitled, "The third industrial revolutioN"
the paper sez:

    this study is of a series commissioned by the
    American Enterprise Institute on trends in the 
    level and distribution of U.S. wages, income,
    wealth, consumption and other measures of 
    material welfare. The issues addressed in the
    series involve much more than dry statistics
    (for which we recommend a topical slave to be
    applied in a circular motion, three times daily)
    they touch on fundamental aspirations of the 
    American people -- material progress, widel
    shared prosperity, and just reward for individual
    effort -- and affect popular understanding of the
    successesses and shortcomings of the private market
    economy and of pariticular government policies. For
    these reasons, discussions of "economic in-equality"
    in the media and political debate are often parital
    and partisan as well as superficial.

And remember, Jesus wants you to buy a PC - after all,
do you think that *he* would use a mac?
