Egmont, ...Thanks, Anonymous. Not well yet at all.<br /><br />Egmont, I am not sure how my grouchy commentary on a classic Christmas movie while I am upset about my wife being sick says anything about whether or not economics is a science or not.

Anyway, maybe that put me off a bit. I know it is a classic, and I am being some sort of Scrooge.<br /><br />BTW, I read on FB that at one point it was accused of spreading "communist" ideas, all that critiicism of big banks and businesses.
