--You might want to consider raising the beef to around 1000 pounds
before slaughter.  Also, you might look into raising Herefords.  Angus
tastes better, but tends to have more fat.  We used to raise Angus,
and they dressed out about 67% meat.  I think that Hereford is a bit
higher (meat).  We also used to raise our own hogs and chickens as well.
On two acres.  We kept every grass clipping and everything off the
vegetable garden.  Even picked up garbage from a local cafe.  Can't
feed raw garbage any more, but it wasn't illegal in those days.  Seems
to me that we used to get the calves at about 200 pounds, but I can't
remember how much grain we used to finish them.  Wasn't much, though.
Grew up eating home-made lard, bacon, ham.  We even made our own
laundry soap.  And head cheese.  Traded eggs to Mrs. Smith across
the road for milk and cream.  We bought only flour, salt, pepper and
citrus fruit.  Raided apples, pears, cherries, gooseberries and
raspberries.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Dad used to buy two calves each spring.  We
raised both the about 1000 pounds, and sold one.  The price we got
paid for the cost of raising both.  We raised three pigs, sold a
pig and a half and kept a pig and a half.  Essentially, except for
our labor, we had free meat all the time I was growing up.  Your posting
took me back.  Sorry for the length of my response, but nostalgia
took over.  Wonder if we could find a little place in the country...?

Exercise is the key thing, I think.  I come from a long line of dirt
farmers, and most of them lived a long time while eating lard, pork,
and butter.  They all worked like hell, which I think made the
difference.  For what it's worth, I have tried to keep active.  I
raise my own vegetables, do my own yard work, and most home repairs.
I weigh less than I did when I graduated from high school in 1949
and my cholesterol is around 200, which isn't too bad for age 63.
And let us look into canonizing Dr. Arthur Klatzky of the UCLA
medical school whose pioneering work suggested that a couple of belts
a day was better than either heavy drinking or no drinking.

pay off my bank.

WELCOME TO

                                 RedePsi
                -------------------------------------------
                A Latin-American network for the 'psy' area
                -------------------------------------------

The RedePsi consists of electronic forums for dissemination and discussion
of topics which are relevant to all professionals in the "psy" area
(psychologists, psychoanalists, psychiatrists, among others). The idea behind
RedePsi is to try and bring together Latin-American professionals of the "psy"
area, integrating them to the international community.

Although the main language for communication is Spanish or Portuguese, we will
certainly end up using English in order to integrate Spanish-Portuguese-
speaking participants to the international community. So the communication is
expected to be either in Spanish, Portuguese or English.

Besides allowing for the quick exchange of information, it will provide a space
for interdisciplinary collaboration in conducting research, as well as in
theoretical development and professional practice. The RedePsi will comprise a
general forum for dissemination of information, and several forums for thematic
discussion, listed below.

-----------------

: Eva Balogh

there is a problem with such comparisons, for in 1950, the situation in
hungary,
as in most of europe could hardly be called "normal", the effects of
world war ii were still being felt, there having been shortages of all manner
of things. these could very easily cause a shift in the causes of death.
world war ii took many lives, but these did not seem to be randomly
distributed across the entire demographic profile. this does not affect the
accuracy of the data, but does impinge upon their significance.

and before any conclusions can be reliably drawn, a great deal needs to
be known about all sorts of factors which impinge.

that is not to play down the importance of such data, but a caveat about
jumping all too rapidly to unwarranted conclusions.

by the way, i still have not seen or received the life-expectancy data
on hungary and other european countries. do you have them?

Another item on Horn and NATO. Matyas Eorsi (SZDSZ), head of the foreign
affairs committee of parliament, announced that Hungary is a sovereign and
independent country and as such it doesn't need the approval of a third party
when it concludes an agreement. Eorsi expressed his disappointment that the
prime minister expresses opinions which can be misinterpreted. However, he is
satisfied with the explanation of the Foreign Ministry according to which
Horn was simply talking about "consultation with Russia" concerning Hungary's
membership in NATO.

It seems to me that Horn is again has problem with the Hungarian
language--public speaking is not his forte and he doesn't seem to think
before he talks. The result is political trouble.

Have you seen that recent CBS 60 Minutes piece about a small Italian
village where heart desease is virtually unknown, yet their diet is
cholesterol rich?  They found a mutant gene the cause for this.
Maybe you, too, are a lucky guy, coming from a family with such mutant

of course it is nonsense to claim that hungary's history has very

Zoli, one of us is gravely out of touch of reality.

My understanding is that more than four billion dollars are siphoned
away YEARLY from Hungary as straight debt servicing. Another
untold but huge amount is taken out as "profit". Further, Hungary can
only meet this deadly hemorrhage of funds by selling off (at dirt
prices) Hungarian agriculture, Hungarian industry, Hungarian science,
and by impoverishing Hungarian society beyond belief. If you don't
realize for instance that Hungarian science is sold down the river
consider the fifteen thousand Hungarian scientists who went abroad
in the last decade. Or think for a moment about the 71% decrease of
R&D in Hungary in the same time-period.  And if you believe these
scientists fetch premium prices ask them and learn what
horrendously bad deals they are forced to make since they have no
choice to stay at thome.

On the other hand, you call this "international assistance" that leads
us to "achieve growth", and "foreign help" by which Hungary will
make it to EU and NATO.

What are you talking about?  How can you call the West's looting
Hungary, by many billions of dollars per year, as "Foreign Help?"
Can you tell me with a straight face how much "Foreign Help"
Hungary received since she is "free", and how super-eager EU and
NATO have been to have Hungary become "integral part" of the
West?

The picture I see is that Hungary is actually driven farther and
farther apart from the "West" -- after her reasonably democratic
government communist restoration is as complete as can be and the
impoverished Hungarian society is growing incompatible with West
Europe, day after day.

Oh yes, maybe I know how can you call these tragedies "international
assistance"!  I recall that it was also "international assistance" (of
sixteen tank divisions) that trampled Hungarian freedom fighters
into death in 1956.  It was also "foreign help" by the comrades by
which Hungary became "integral part" of the so-called "Peace-Camp".

With the absurd vocabulary of internationalists, in which military
aggressors were called "friends" providing "international assistance",
you can perhaps also brand the present looting of Hungary
"international assistance" and billions of dollars taken AWAY as
"foreign help".

Your internationalist vocabulary, however, is straight out from
Orwell's 1984.  I for one suspect that following "your book" is a
receipt for tragedy of historical proportions.
