Vladimir, let me ask you another question, why do you think prices for oil are rising?

I remembered one movie....
<h1 style="font-weight: normal;">"The
Distinguished Gentleman"</h1>

On a bill to limit awards in malpractice suits, it doesn't matter
which way he votes.

"If you're for it, I can get you money from the doctors and
the insurance companies," Corrigan says. "If you're against
it, I can get you money from the trial lawyers."



"If that's true," Johnson asks, "how does anything
get done?"

"It doesn't," Corrigan says, "that's the beauty of
the system."

There you go, Vitaliy got the right idea. It's true, it is not only about the personal wealth its about hundreds of thousands of people who are employed and millions of investors and stock holders.

Roman, now you are confusing me (md) which exactly technology are you reffering to which would stop wars? or eliminate poverty? etc.

Well lets look at the situation as a whole. We have tons of alternative energy technology putting to work everything from wind to water. Poverty, we can handle and you know it. Drugs, we can take down if we wanted to, militarize our border, nice big fense, we'll be good to go. Hunger, we have sufficient number of chemicals that we can quadrupal the food supply. The problem is, we cannot expose it all. It has to be gradually and very very slowly.

Eugene, would you like to repeat your speach to the State of Israel ? I doubt they will agree that Sadam is exactly whats needed for Middle East and if you remember he sttod trial for crimes against the Kurds, so I doubt they would agree with you either. Sadam, was a threat, plain and simple.

I have not, but we cannot ignore the fact that Iran never attacked Israel, Iraq under Sadam has.

Eugene you are a mortgage broker, first thing you look at is a credit report. A record of past acts. Here the credit report is simple, Iraq is shooting rockets while Iran so far only shooting off its mouth. May be history will prove us wrong, but we can only act on what we see.

I just joined this forum and found this discussion.
Though many years ago, I voted for Hillary's husband and before that voted for GW's father and before that voted for the best President the U.S. ever head - Ronald Reagan:) But today, I am giving my vote to the one and only candidate we will feel safe with, a candidate who has more political experience than any of the weirde choices we've got and that is Senator McCain. :-D

Полностыью согласен с Ириной! (Y) McCain is a clear choice!
У нас вчера в Портленде был Обама. Собрал довольно большую аудиторию деркократов, либералов, и пустозвонов (72000 человек). Самое смешное что музыкальное сопровождение было предоставлено местной группой The Decemberists (Декабристы) :-D (по моему у них там кто-то в группе русский). Обама говорил все одно и тоже: "...change is coming...", "..it will get better..." и так далее...демагог, блин! (N)
