and some digresive Apologia in the abstract...)

Dear Taylor,

Good mentions here - good logic.

Maybe some of what got this slideing sideways, is that I had
not refered 'to' the "Land of the Rising Sun" nor to the
People...

Rather, I had refered to the 'market' by the term it was
usually called by the people in it.

I was not in it, I knew people who were.

The 'market'...not the Nation, or the People...

The market was an abstraction, and little Love was 'lost' on
either 'side' of it...or, less was 'found'.

Anyway...

Maybe sometimes the 'messenger' gets shot...or winged,
anyway...or may be asked implicitly to give some
account...that is fine.

(...laughing...)

Thanks for the fun...and for the well intended concern.

This IS an engageing and curious topic, and I wish it were
easier to deal with it in the deapth it deserves!

Maybe in bits and pieces, now and then...we can.

It is important...

Your pal,

Phil
Las Vegas

Phillip,

You gotta know b'now that I don't shortn' words unless
Absolutely necess. BTW, Brits, Aussies, Canucks, Norskis,
Hollanders,
and others were not targets of such strong perjoration in
our most
recent past as were the Japanese. (Hey you Brits! Been over
200 years
now. Love ya.) Since you're my elder, you get to say
whatever you want
and I can't say notin' 'bout it. In my most humble of
oppinions,
however, reference to the land of the rising sun and the
people thereof
is best done with the full form of the word.

Hehe

By the by, very nice vest and tie at NCECA; saw some pics
(not Picts!).

Taylor, in Waco
