C2, I don't need research. <Do cell phones promote economic growth or are they simply an expression of greater affluence?> Both. Cell phones create wealth and are an expression of wealth. China, by keeping CDMA at bay, has avoided wealth. CDMA, which phragments photons faster than other methods, creates wealth faster than other methods. Paradoxically, as wealth increases, money becomes less relevant. In the extreme, when wealth is maximum, and economic activity huge, money will be irrelevant as people will just do what they want to do and payment won't matter. We are not anywhere near that situation yet, though we have little episodes of it such as in grand child minding and education. Neither of us gets paid, but both benefit. Plenty of people do voluntary "work" because they enjoy doing what they are doing. Cyberphones reduce the amount of work we need to do, so they create economic growth while reducing the need for it. It's an amazing new era we are in, which makes the industrial revolution look trivial. Mqurice

A stick and some child spanking (early child hooded) is the major corner stone of the amurrican judicial lynching system redhotjazz.com That is why, as Ginsburg said, nobody is even trying to copy it, even if it is given for gratis-free with US tax dollars, billions and hundreds of billions and the US military. (she did not say that later thing then, now she might say it) However, one should not forget nor minimize the true and great american dilemma, especially as few murricans understand it, idealized and Los Lollywood and regular silly domestic propaganda. (tough stuff, in these ages of the global internet) Btw, that Ginsburg quote came after she had invited this french superior female judge, to talk to this graduated little legal ones, and that superior french judgess just had told them how smartly they rewrote their constitution to be EU-compatible. Somebody little one then asked Ginsburg, "why didn't they just copy our old, best in the world stuff, wouldn't that have been easier?? much less difficult to understand" (for little Los Lollywood educated me??) Interesting stuff coming up... the clash of legal civilizations and markets. (I just heard Alito had heard the true and only voice in his head, although he spoke like he would have at least 40 different voices talking in his head) 160 was the earlier US champion record??

Why is Alito saying that you, ready to go practicing, do not know nor understand as much as those in the 1700s?? They were mostly and barely 25-30 too, maybe better instilled?? OK, he already now thinks he is Polonius (Latin for "Polish") .. "To thine own self be true", "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" and "brevity is the soul of wit." In most productions of the 20th century, up to about 1980, Polonius was played as a somewhat senile, garrulous man of about seventy-five or so, and those productions sometimes got a few laughs out of the character's depiction. ---- nobody laughed, they were just waiting to go partying.
