Damn, lost my reply. That's so annoying. Briefly, trying again: <1. Your opinion that $1000 per capita isn't a big deal isn't accurate.> Is. <2. In addition, that is $1000 per capita that we don't even have. We have to borrow it from Communist China and other furriners.> We foreigners are happy to lend. I am lending quite a lot of US$ but would like more than 3%, and am getting regular increases. <3. The $356 BILLION to-date cost of the Iraq War is for useless and harmful things like killing people, destabilizing the region and creating a whole new generation of trained jihadists.> Look on it as a hobby, like grid-iron, mountain climbing, motor racing etc. I'm sure the annual budget for golf, NBA, baseball, footie, motor-racing etc far exceeds the Iraq war. But real, live, shoot 'em up is a lot more fun than boring baseball, which is only pretend throwing something at somebody, who defends themselves against the gang. <4. Try reducing, per the capita you speak of, the consumption of tobacco and food....I dare you. At that point you are dealing with the lizard mind and it doesn't care what's good for it in the long run.> I did. No problem. My food consumption is a fraction of what it was when I was 18 years old. I cut out tobacco too. I wanted to protect my lizard mind and ill-health could have led to an early demise. It wasn't to save money. With saving money as an added incentive, American lizard minds could do it easily. Heck, many could not eat for half a year and still have some fat left, saving a lot of money. Maybe your lizard mind doesn't care about you in the long run. But not everyone is like that. <BTW, the Iraq war is the lizard mind run amuck as well.> How come American's can't spell and get apostrophes' running amok? Mqurice
