Newt Gingrich Considers Run for President 2 hours, 34 minutes ago


Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday he might run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 — unless some candidates promote his ideas.

"There are circumstances where I will run," Gingrich told a news conference before a speech at the University of Mobile.

Earlier this year, in an interview with The Associated Press, Gingrich said, "Anything seems possible."

Asked under what circumstances he would enter the race, Gingrich, 62, said he plans to continue traveling the United States talking about the issues.

"My hope is that five or six candidates are going to jump up, steal all of my ideas, and I will be able to relax and go golf," he said.

The former Georgia congressman said if nobody picks up on the ideas and the country thinks they are significant, a campaign is possible. But he added that's "so far down the road and so much less important than my two grandchildren."

50,000 years ago they had ice there, a couple miles thick.

The oldest inhabitants, the Sami, run communal herds and it would appear that the later inhabitants copied much of that attitude.

"They didn't have socialism there 10-50000 years ago did they??"

Hunter-gatherers aren't exactly what you would describe as capitalists. Given the communal approach to everything, socialistic come closest to describing them than anything else.
