I thought I could be a Marxist until saw real bureaucracy in action. That put me off. I think that certain elements of socialism are great, but many aren't. Do you really think we'd have seatbelts or 40 hour workweeks and paid health if it was just up to the free market? Sorry, bub, but that all came from your pinko friends. I might get it because my skills are in demand, but I doubt many others would. It took industry 10 years to put a 3rd light on their pickups and vans, even though experiments showed it drops accidents dramatically. But it also lowers insurance work, a profit center. Funny how that works.

" No problems that technology can't fix ...there's no population problem , were producing more food than the population is growng....barring acts of God " Poor innocent little cows, they're killing them now en masses. <G> I suppose Hoof & Mouth disease qualifies as an "act of God " , in your book ? Nothing more .... ....just tracking things a little bit here , TW . regards Mars PS: of course you might have been right about the energy problem not being critical....there's a big slow down in production these days , and the need for energy is dwindling... <GG> How do like the market call so far ?
