RR,re:"comments". U asked for it(them). 1. I can't read that long a document, but just for you. 2. They are right. We spend too much time on TV, Internet. 3. They are wrong. I couldn't read this without internet. 4. It's not the end of the world without 'internet'. 5. 'internet' is too broad a 'term' being widely used. 6. There are many facets of 'internet' and only a few of them are needed (depending your current age/situation). (My principle on this is, do the same things you have been doing or your responsibility, but plug some internet tool to do it). 7. It's an easier way to communicate or access info. But some are junk. (Internet just gives you a 'faster snapshot' of our society and not really creating anything out of 'virtual' as some lead us to believe). Unfortunately, we are still human, until we advance to 'virtual-being'. This 'internet thing' may do more harm than good to the unprepared. 8. While there are legimate business with 'internet orientation', there are full of shits on many others. But it's a great tool to collect enormous amount of money. I really don't care how people make money anymore. As long as they don't put a gun or something like that to the head of other person. Lying, fraud is part of the game. Sorry to have lower my standard on 'moral'. But this is the trend and don't fight the tape. 9. Since I don't know which business is right or wrong, I'll put 10% of my 'investment/gambling' money in a mutual fund which 'specialize' on this new area. It's a 4-bagger last year and I wish I had more. 10. I know the U.S stock market will continue to go up. Nobody can stop it, we can't. We need the piece of paper (the new DOLLAR). Our government would be a deep shit trouble if the stock market slow down. (heard of balance budget lately, income vs. expense, or sales vs expense for some NUT.com.co ) Conclusion: Don't worry, get into the game and have fun. Like most game, it has an ending. Sorry being off-topic, but you probably knew what you are asking for. What's bad(good) for America, will be in Japan. I enjoy Jerry Springer show on Tokyo/TV, too bad it isn't in Japanese. Not that I understand Japanese, but it wouldn't make much difference and probably sound funnier.
