re:Arkansas shotting just a sign of the times..our culture has gone to instant gratification...people turn to self interest..ie look at clinton's ratings...geez look at the women's groups --talk about hypocrisy.. heard an interview a while back on tv with a young teenager saying the scandal was great because that means that she might be interested in going into politics since it is okay if you do wrong things.. (ps I still think Clinton is brilliant,has done a lot of good,really cares but has one huge problem typical of people coming from disfunctional families..control freaks who are out of control in certain areas)(think there are a lot more top people out there who just don't care)so many families are forced to have two jobs...so stressed that they don't have time to notice if their kids are troubled..in this day and age it would seem that children even need more attention from their caretakers.. also now wonder how much stress these latest shootings have added to working parents who care deeply about their children and are worried now for their safety at school... look at tv shows..no more columbo's or quincy's etc or Northern exposures..actually I don't watch much tv except for news shows.. which I had better stop since a bit depressing... actually just read that HIP..a NY healthcare is offering spiritual consoling.. heard somebody from one of high tech companies complaining about immigrant bill to get more foreign engineers.. geez..remembering hearing from my friends in high tech in early nineties saying extremely difficult to get jobs because a lot of corps were hiring immigrants at much lower wages for programming jobs and laying off higher salaried workers..I am not crying for the high tech companies... anyways..as I have told friends..cross cultural suggests that in cultures where conditions are harshest, the people tend to be more civilized in the sense they are more caring..so if hard times return maybe that will be great!!!!! re Year2000 problem friend said he read remediation might take 1 trillion to fit..wow.. doesn't that have to really put a lid on high tech since companies budgets will find it difficult to add new hardware and software and put most of their budgets into remediation..great for consulting firms and IBM since they have huge service capabilities..also won't that cut into Microsoft..even those pcs are cheaper and cheaper and the companies still have to pay Microsoft for operating system..
