"In 1555, Nostradamus (aka 'Nosty' on SI) wrote:

'Come the millennium, month 12,
In the home of greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader'
."

Some folks believe the above quatrain was Nostradamus' prediction of the election of George W. Bush to the White House.

Many anti-Bush folks believe Nosty's phrase, "The village idiot" is an apt description of the Prez-elect. Well, time will tell.

I thought I had replied to your suggestion on terraforming other planets to grow more food. But I was mistaken.

I think it is not necessary to do that just yet. What may be tried meantime is to use one or more satellite reflectors in outer space to reflect sunlight on to specially created remote farmlands to extend the hours for photosynthesis for crops. Maybe this will serve as a preliminary to other grandiose plans........
