Maurice - ...So, we have the NZ government funding magnets on fuel lines to increase fuel consumption and cut pollution. Truly!! I am not joking. ... This is only a weak beginning. In the US, the magnets would be required on every car and paid for by the consumer, who would not be allowed to remove or disable them. If the magnets were found to explode at random, the fix would be to make criminals of any parents who exposed their children to this danger and take the children into state custody. Regards, Don

MW- Actaully the arty and culture types are the winners. They beat the living daylights out of tech types every time. Look what happens. The rich like their children to marry "above their class". There numerous examples even in todays times of really wealthy poeple finding rejoicing in their children marrying penniless aristocrats or members of so called "Royal" families. Great musical artisits and painters can be bought just like hookers. See how so much "culture" has gravitated to New York and California from the cultural heaven of Europe, and why? Becuase they love money. The art and culture worlds are the great whores of huan history, they love money only money they would do anything for money no boudary they wouldn't cross for money. Scientists and techies on the other hand aren't nearly so money orientated. They do it for the sheer challenge to learn to find out to explain to heal to end suffering. Not the artsy world. Look how they stole the pantings and works of art they knew to belong to dead Jews. But is was art and art transcends doesn't it... And then they look down their snooty noses at techies and ordinary folk and talk with refined accents in government and high places while the scientists and the techies build the wealth that these parasites live fat off. Arts world is the gratest con in human history. $20m for a painting of sunflowers!!!!! Best regards, L

Isn't it true of Australia and New Zealand that there are more sheep than people? By the way, despite popular belief scientists/engineers/mathematicians are quite sensitive to the esthetic aspects of their work. Mathematics is in fact an intellectual art form (once one progress beyond the infantile stage of "math" known to the average layman), and as an engineer I always hope I can solve problems in an elegant clean way - even though management generally wants just to get things done on time and make the sale (there's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over.) This isn't even useless, everyone knows that a clean, even elegant solution to a problem is more likely to be understandably, provably correct than a horrendous kludge. Mqurice, does that q come from typing on an AZERTY keyboard?
