LAISSEZ FAIRE: A french term that translates into "leave us alone." It has become the rallying cry for many business leaders of the second estate who oppose government intervention, regulation, or even taxation. It's based on the belief that markets alone can achieve an efficient allocation of our resources. This laissez faire philosophy of should be contrasted directly with the philosophy of paternalism, which essentially says "Government needs to care for you because you can't care for yourself."

PINK FADFLY
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is on the cutting edge of what's new and innovative, if its trendy, then you are there. Family and friends never question your fashion sense, although they might worry about your ability to hold a job or fill out your income tax return. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors looking to buy either an ink cartridge for your printer or a rechargeable battery for your camera. Be on the lookout for door-to-door salesmen. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter R, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 950960. Your preferred shopping venue is high-end specialty stores. Your special symbol is the forward slash (/).
Is this You?
As a Pink Fadfly, you flutter from store to store, from product to product, looking for the latest fashions. You are the trend-setter and at the forefront of all fads. If it's new, if it's trendy, if it's on the cutting edge, you are there. Price is not important. Quality is not a prime consideration. For you it's not a matter of form over function or style over substance. The latest trend trumps all.
This isn't me! What am I?

The Crystal Ball Of ECONOMIC FORECASTINGHow often has this happened to you? You've packed a tasty picnic lunch, donned your spiffy-looking swimwear, loaded up the beach blanket and umbrella, then headed for the artificial waves of the local Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Water Park expecting bright sunshine and warm temperatures. However, upon reaching Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Water Park you find that the economy has fallen into a deep recession, with high unemployment rates and sluggish production, and the owners of the Happy-Time Gala-World Fun-Land Water Park have been forced to turn off the artificial wave machine, dismantle the water slides, and drain the pool. (It's also raining and 50 degrees. We will, however, ignore those problems because this isn't A Pedestrian's Guide to Meteorology.)
