Weekend Economists' Da Doo Ron Ron January 17-18, 2010

[Demeter]

As promised, WEE continues with our theme of send up the girls, and in honor of MLK whose birthday is celebrated Monday, a tribute to the Rev. Martin Luther King.

In effect, we are pointing to two driving forces of our previous century: women's rights and civil rights for the descendants of the slaves who built a large part of this nation. Can you imagine a bunch of white guys without women or slave labor trying to make a nation? That would be like the French trappers, killing off the beavers and making free with the native women. We know how far that went...not very. Which brings up a good point: our next effort should recognize the people who were here first, and who are still struggling to survive. Make a note of that!

So, onward with the weekend! Post them if you've got them!
