"Inventors get rich, GST, but rich people don't have to invent. That's it from me on this one." If there was a "delight-o-meter" for silly statements you would light it up with this statement! The early adopters of technology are always people who for one reason or another don't care about the costs and the economics (defense procurement, space exploration, eccentric rich people, universities, oddball applications where there is no alternative) -- it is always that way. But technology does not become widely adopted unless the economics are right -- it is always that way. It is a basic business reality, like the law of gravity is basic to physics. Does the law of gravity apply to you? Or is that too "old economy" for you?

Conquest of Aztlan shopnetdaily.com Could Mexico retake the southwestern United States? Not only are the Mexicans capable, but an invasion is underway, insists immigration expert Glenn Spencer. In this well-documented video, Spencer unveils the aims of a radical movement that identifies itself as "America's Palestinians." Their ultimate goal is to reclaim the American Southwest, including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas. Hispanic activists refer to the former Mexican territory as Aztlan, the mythical place of origin of the Aztec people. But is this merely the irrational scheme of a fringe group? Using original footage, Spencer shows how the pronouncements of Mexican officials and their policies support a "reconquest" of the Southwest. Perhaps even more importantly, Spencer contends, U.S. immigration policies and lax enforcement are paving the way for this invasion. Spencer is president of California-based Voice of Citizens Together and host of the popular talk show "American Patrol." In "Conquest of Aztlan" you'll see how: Former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo made a de facto declaration of war on the U.S. The Mexican government helped quash an immigration measure passed by the people of California. A fifth column of subversives is plotting to "recolonize" the United States. Mexican officials prepare citizens to invade the U.S. Mexican anti-Americanism revealed itself after the Sept. 11 attack. Immigrants in the U.S. are encouraged to vote in the interests of Mexico. U.S. policies ultimately are leading to a breakup of the country.
