So, when Hamas took power in Lebanon early last year, Condi was out there pitching it one more time: "I’ve asked why nobody saw it coming. It does say something about us not having a good enough pulse."

I'm afraid that you've made an embarrassing mistake. Hamas is Palestinian, not Lebanese.

I was reminded of the aphorism that the wealthy look to the past and the legacy they've inherited ("our family came over on the Mayflower"), the poor live in the present, but the middle class's orientation is the future, for which they work, scrimp and save. There may be a relationship between our giving up planning and our giving up on having a robust and large middle class. Just a thought...

Mom, there's some chewy stuff in your observations, which have opened a new door of inquiry.

Don't be surprised if some of this shows up in a subsequent post.

Thanks.
