Regarding #4, traditionally there's a great effort to project unanimity by the Fed board, but that broke down a bit in the recent crisis, and there's always a bit of behind the scenes politicking.
As to #35, for most of the last couple of thousand years having religious prohibitions about not crapping in your house was actually a good thing. It's only with the invention of indoor plumbing that it's suddenly a disadvantage.

- PeterisP 12y agoOkay, if your traditions prohibit crapping in your house - no problem, build a network of decent outhouses. I mean, if most dirt-poor 15th century subsistence farmers could build an outhouse for themselves, then that should be no problem for a 21th century farming villages with government support. The child growth stunting effects aren't caused by lack of nice plumbing as such - even moving from open defecation to covered pit toilets would solve most of the problem.
