It may surprise you to learn that for over 3,700,000,000 ecological
principles have been building an ecology beyond the ability of human
beings to grasp, without once consulting an Ecological Economist. So
the first thing you need is the humility to comprehend that economics
is non-relevent to ecology.

The second thing you need is to obtain a sound education in biology,
as a necessity of life for all 21st century human beings,
economist-mined or not.

The third thing you need to learn is: whensoever economics becomes an
excusing mechanism for sociopathic behaviors, society reserves the
right to strap economists down onto a gurney and apply a lethal
injection into a vein and rid ourselves of a hostile force. Ethics is
not optional behavior -- it should not be a difficult struggle for
anyone, economist or not, to articulate the cohesive principles of
society in plain common language any time of the day or night.

NOW, the "economist" profession is sadly behind the duty to cleanse
itself of miscreants whom have aided and abetted corporate serial
murderers in sociopathic behaviors.

In this document I have provided proofs which have withstood one round
of evidence in due process courts of law in the tobacco trials:

You will find names of economists in this citation whom currently need
expulsion from positions of trust and respect, and you are charged
with the duty to perform your share of social responsibility to see
this is done.

book, Smoking and the State, and the issues surrounding the misuse of
"social costs." Enclosed you will find the press kit used with the

Robert Tollison and Richard Wagner were corrupt on the day they sat in

a half-dozen "whitecoats" deception agents in Tobacco Institute
budgetary records of this time period.

Robert D. Tollison received these check numbers:
page 6:
Cumulative General Ledger the Tobacco Institute Inc. Period Ending

* Robert D. Tollison Check #42538 87-MAR-30 $16,450
* Robert D. Tollison Check #44247 87-MAY-29 $14,075

* Robert D. Tollison Check #45717 87-JUL-22 $7,750 (Totals paid over 5
months = $65,663.)

Such additional evidence as you may require is deposited in court
records and online tobacco archives. I expect you to deal with the
George Mason University in accordance with the full measure of
sociopathic agression they have demonstrated, and the Dean of the
Rochester Institute of Technology's name is also in that above list.

So cut your gabfest blah-blah-blah, and perform your ethical duty to
punish criminal predators in the economics profession.

Sincerely, Psalm 110 (no kidding).
