With millions of people having access this is always going to happen some cases of people who do not know how to use that access. Tell you a case once happened in Brazil. Two girls, 15 and 16 vanished without a trace. Middle class people. The whole country was lookig for the girls. About two weeks later two girls asked for a discount in a cheap hotel about 700Km from S. Paulo. The owner recognized them from the TV photos and called the cops. They said they wanted to go to Argentina. Sold iPODS and their stuff for bus tickets to Rio Grande do Sul (the border state). There, they run out money and were returning afraid of coming back home after all the brouhaha they have created. After reading the news o«in the paper I asked Experiment: Would you consider selling your iPOD and stuff and running away fromn this comfy house, lots of food etc. She said to me: "Those girls are plain dumb." It is just like that. Millions of people access, chances are that the plain dumb screw up.

You guys invented the damn thing. You owe me an explanation. Why people buy a pick truck? I know you Americans have too many things, thus to cart them up and down you need a pick truck. They have gasoline at 25 cents per liter (in Brazil we have about 6x more expensive gasoline) thus 75% of our cars are 1.000cc which has less taxes than over 1.000cc engines. There, a little 1.000cc cars come loaded with everything a luxury car has. In Curitiba, we are in S. Korea income per capita category. What I wonder here is: Why dirty poor Angolans love pick trucks?
