>>The numbers released earlier this month, reporting 240,000 US jobs 
lost last month, are, in one sense, like all other numbers. They give 
you data. They show you the big picture. They add to previous reports 
to total 1.2 million jobs lost so far this year.<<

I watched "Kelly's Heroes" the other day (netflix lists it as a 
classic...) but one line did stick in my head that applies to today. 
Oddball (played by a very young Donald Sutherland) makes a comment 
about "negative vibes" being not good for the project. With the 
economy going like it is and the 1.2m jobs lost this year we really 
don't need "negative vibes". Thinking positive won't hurt....
