True Vosilla, and I am a global citizen, so when you start talking about argentina and asia and such - you can probably find major bubbles all the time to profit from as a global investor. Much more than once in a lifetime. However if Shiller gets his wish with housing derivatives, in housing that risk will be transferred to the richies and taken away from the poor homeowner in the future. Mr. Bush thinks he is going to tell me what to do with my love muscle - what a silly president. palmbeachpost.com Plans for Web red-light district put on hold By Bob Keefe Palm Beach Post-Cox News Service Wednesday, August 17, 2005 Plans to create a virtual red-light district on the Internet are on hold after the Bush administration asked the international agency in charge of the World Wide Web to delay approval of a controversial.xxx domain name. The independent Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, which administers the Web's addressing system, was expected to give final approval Tuesday to a Florida company that would have added the.xxx name to the realm of.coms and.nets. ICANN gave initial approval to the.xxx name in June. But ICM Registry, which operates from offices in Jupiter, voluntarily asked ICANN to delay final approval until September after the Bush administration and officials from other countries raised last-minute concerns about the plan. Executives at ICM Registry expressed frustration at the delay, especially since they and others have been trying to start the new.xxx domain for five years. ICANN initially rejected the idea of a.xxx domain in 2000. But company founder Jason Hendeles said it was worth it if it could smooth out any concerns of government officials and consumers. "From our point of view it's a worthwhile delay if we have more support," he said in a telephone interview. "If we're more responsive to those groups that are concerned, it will help in the long run." In a letter to ICANN last week, U.S. Department of Commerce Assistant Secretary Michael Gallagher said the agency had received nearly 6,000 letters and e-mails expressing concerns about the creation of a.xxx domain. "The volume of correspondence... is unprecedented," Gallagher wrote. Now I grew up in germany, hawaii, and only out of some punishement did I go to southern ga BIBLE belt where sex became evil - I don't understand silly american views sometimes even though I am one - so so silly.
