He has made several blunders here and has yet to say he was wrong. The guy
has an ego problem.

Gulp! Does that mean Gould "lied" when he said that burger flippers
*were*
reclassified as manufacturing jobs?

Maybe just gullible.


More precisely, misled by the administration's own recommendation that
fast food jobs should now be considered manufacturing.

(Sort of like "ketchup counts as a vegetable in a school lunch")

Whatever the source of my misinformation, I do hereby admit to being
underinformed and reaching an erroneous conclusion. You guys have to be correct
once in a while, how the heck else could you be called the "right" wing? :-)

The fact that Clinton and Bush,
and members of both parties in Congress made a mistake, doesn't make any of
them a liar.

Does the term "erroneous conclusion" mean "lie"?

You
knew that was coming, right Chuck?

Yes, it does. Too bad the results of their erroneous conclusion aren't as
benign as the results of mine. :-)

An erroneous conclusion is only a lie, if the person knew it was erroneous.

When Harry and his crowd state that Bush lied they mean he followed the
advice of the experts and they were incorrect.

I would not consider Gould's mistake to be a lie, it was a misunderstanding,
which we all make. I have found whenever I read something in the newspaper
that just doesn't seem right, it normally isn't. Newspapers are not the
ultimate source of correct information, even the best of them write articles
designed to sell newspapers. I remember reading about how the US was at the
bottom of the barrel in education. When I checked into it, the tests were
not given to the same population in all countries. The test was only given
to people in the 12 yr. of education. In most countries at the age of 15 or
16 the students either continue on in the academic track, or change over to
trade school. In non US countries only the best and brightest stay on the
academic track and the average person is taken out of the testing pool. In
the US all students stay on the academic track until 12 grade, so the US
testing population included the best, the average and the dumbest, skewing
the results of the test.

At no time, was this ever discussed in any of the articles I read.

Now, if I said that DC hookers were being counted as a "service industry",
*that* would be a lie.




You are so right! And never have I seen anything resembling your discussion
printed in a newspaper. In the Netherlands the separation starts after sixth
grade.
