If this country leads the way against tyranny and usurpation of human rights "everywhere", not just where it is expedient, on a consistent basis the world could be well on its way to becoming a utopia by 2010. After the first few corrections the rest will fall into line quickly if they see we are dedicated and unselfish in our efforts. We have the power and might. But we do need help from other like minded nations. JMHO!

Too much else to do right now, All you can do is guess about whither there are any "Elephants" left in the Eurasian Land Mass. I would think we still have one hell of a lot of oil to find there. I suspect you and I will be long past getting pissed about football games before we peak on oil.

"Multiculturism" at it's finest. REASON Daily Brickbat Absurd news bites, served fresh every day. By Charles Oliver Rapist Gets Slapped on Wrist (1/6) Jackie Pascoe Jamilmira, an Australian Aboriginal, allegedly traded a portion of his government checks to a couple for their 14-year-old daughter. When the girl resisted his advances, he reportedly punched her, put his foot on her neck, and raped her. He fired a gun into the air when she complained about it. Police arrested him and he was brought to trial, but according to Womensenews, the man received only a nominal 24-hour sentence. The judge had ruled that the rape was part of aboriginal custom.

From a review of the book. " He warns that alternative energy schemes are too little too late -- that we will necessarily face a decline in our standard of living. He proposes that nuclear energy is the strongest future energy alternative, that it has a bum rap for being so closely linked to nuclear terror, and that it deserves re-examination and renewed efforts by scientists and engineers. I wish it weren't so. I wish Deffeyes had devoted more than token attention to conservation, to efficiency, to Buckminster Fuller's principle of 'doing more with less'. But no matter what I wish, and no matter how hard the world tries to deny or discredit Deffeyes' message, _Hubbert's_Peak_ is due to arrive on Earth in 2003 -- next year! After that, there will be less energy for our telephones, our computers, our servers, our LANs, our automobiles, our airplanes, our factories, and the heating and cooling of the air that surrounds us. We will need to get used to it. Fast." John, www.hubbertpeak.com is a good starting point.
