that was in jest and directed more to the list as a whole.  no offense 
meant.
i happen to be one of those who simply likes music for the sake of 
music and do not get into the the intellectualism side of it overall.

i also do not subscribe to the nobel=unquestionablity right either.  
that said, this was a topic recently among some other economic forums 
(with people such as tyler cowen, brad de long, etc) and no one seem to 
dispute that in fact people do spend much less time working than in 
time past (with minor ebbs and flows within the greater trend.)  the 
bigger question for most is what is the expected threshold that is 
sustainable.

again, sorry if i gave offense.
