To make a point, I posted this after my first typing pass. I did not take the extra few minutes to correct the English. Civil servants who work of the CIA are clueless about those who go out and create an increase in market capitolization of over 600% in a few years. This is a known increase. An increase inspite of how rotten rotten rotten those other trends are. The genius leadership of President Bush is good, but that good is amazing. What does he have up his sleave next? wowza!! If they are clueless about how to do it, how can then estimate it's efects in countering or growing any "trend"..... Has anyone noticed zero data on quantifying the doom trends is presented? "The report further identifies six trends that provide some basis for this doom scenario. These include political and economic mismanagement, divisive politics, a feckless bureaucracy, lawlessness, corruption, ethnic and sectarian differences and militant religious politics." Show me the data!!!! What is the trend? Is it up or down relative to other trends? Or moan and groan doom and gloon, who needs any stinkin facts. Will any of the above increase at anywhere near the rate of increase of market capitolization? I find it amusing anyone would take the CIA projections of something as complex as an economy seriously. Understanding is not about comprehending the English language. Understanding is about applying critical thinking in the analysis of ideas. Now I must say malibuca posts in wonderful English that is easy to understand. The absense of critical thinking is obvious. In fact it is quite possible malibuca's writing skills are far beyond my own in posting gramatically correct English. But I see a complete void in skills needed to analyse and understand complex systems.
