<You could have helped your compatriot Klaus> Doroteo, I was aware of your thread and your wit. Soccer is of interest but not to the extend that I would want to get involved to deep. because: <Mind you, it got a little heated at one point.> In retrospect the game Germany-Croatia was foretelling yesterdays debacle. But never in that format. I am still at a loss as to the original cause for this scandalous "lazy" display of the German display. Granted they lost the lustrine a while ago,but the transformation downwards to the bottom of 2nd league in such a short time involving players worth millions of dollars and showing their worth in their home teams, does not make sense to me. Not that I had a sleepiness night over it, like I could with a stakes horse running away with my money. But the reason for the loss as such interest me even more as the actual happening. Must sound so familiar.When stocks are involved? I looked over the scenes again and again. Naturally a probing mind, nowadays, must include the thought of foul play. To drug racehorses, with the most stringent supervision and control in place is a challenge to " You can not outsmart detection ". You know that there is no challenge great enough for a determined scientist. To drug 11 players of a soccer team is a play for children. The team committed incredible mistakes in their attacks when they happened at all. Equally their defensive actions were not worth this description. The contrary was the case. It was like inviting the other team like "Score now I am not looking!" There was no coordination. During the game some players sweated excessively but they were not running after the ball. When the camera shoot allowed one could see same players holding their heads in a funny way like they were hearing bells in distant places. After the game when interviewed by reporters their faces appeared swollen, their eyes seemed popped, their eye bags prominent displayed and the overall appearance was that of total exhaustion. Fine I can live another day or years to come with comments like Eddy is a moron, a idiot, a paranoid, blem blem and any name you care to serve me with. But my eyesight is still in order I assume. Interested parties should take their time and get hold of the video of the game and look at it from the view point I just commented about. As far as business is concerned. Here are some very interesting links to see on what level the EU is presently operating on. Sleepers those bureaucrats are not as you will discover. cordis.lu ispo.cec.be echo.lu cordis.lu infowin.org ED PS:This links are of no value to the idle minded but could be worth a fortune to those who are experienced in exchanging paper for mana from heaven.

<.... And they expect him to walk... no, run, the very first day it is given current, connected and [supposedly] ready to go. Hit the pavement running. When will they ever learn? Yet again, another folly by Bozo, Jester,and Dangerfield. But that's ok, if things go well, (that is for the sharp individual), it may be the final blow to an old band of decrepit leaders. One in which perhaps a new and renewed,(hopefully younger European leaders), will rise from the ashes of this Frankenstein. Unfortunately the ghost of the collectivists are always looming, singing in collective chorus their old and tired hymn. (The Internationale).... then again, I don't think so> Hmmnnn....to be swiftly connected "then" when hopefully younger European leaders will rise from this Frankenstein may be part of the evolutionary process associated with the speed those information highways are constructed. "Then" would be to late if the thoughts of material gains are ruling your mind. Power plays for personal power sakes would obviously be a part of present times, but discontinued "then". The collective dumb belling of people by the establishment and their political arms also. The message of the internationale always sounded to good to be true. Unity always was a great buzzword and rally point for the naive at heart. With networking it is free. The hymn for communism will be placed on the hit charts from time to time again, no doubt. But as far as workers joining together to fight the beast at home in capitalism will never happen. Joining together to cut each others hair more likely. Hey Joe it's Tuesday you do 3rd street I am doing Belmont with Marty, Bob and Gustave. The number of millions of unemployed today, will steadily increase to numbers I would not want to speculate about, other as to lend them the attribute " horrific". Politicians have no solutions only temporary fixes. One can't be real mad at broadcasting stations when they present reruns. They just follow time itself which periodically has it's own repetitive social events. The "Panem et circenses" period involving Christians and Lions are coming back. This time they will involve " One is working and 19 have fun and games" possibly sponsored by Adidas, Cola, IBM, McDonalds and Crysler/Mercedes. Possibly even representing the Mallboro Man in some form as smoking will be the lesser evil then. Shareholders value has to be redefined also because the period of "Ora et Labora" will be gone to the wayside. Since switch on, the current of time is always conducting. To tap in technology wise all you need is two wires and all the technology in the world, other then wireless, can not stop the inevitable to happen. For what good reason anyone would want to have a "real" phone in 2005, I ask you? In Stuttgard, Germany and Manchester,UK presently they have trial runs involving the internet out of the ordinary wall plug. It's working fine I heard.The rest will be history indeed. Time for a commercial: SCM and NT are involved. So the network of ours should take the direction of "wall plug in communication", as well as Mr.Gates Microsoft Satellite Network as a backup in 2005. You mentioned it, in one of your post that the bloodless revolution utilizing a network would have to be defined. I agree- What should be the network's scope? I would not want to go further as a database as outlined already. 24 hours of monitoring how many elected? I am sure people will be horrified when the final number appears on their screens. Those numbers just using a pen playing around shocked me into the realization that I was wrong when I stated to Michelino we would not need a trial run. In fact one must have a trial.I have not thought about the fact that we have not the financial resources the network needs. But sponsors will only fork out the lolly if you show them the potential. Furthermore, it's handy and fine to determine that millions are unsatisfied even disgusted with present politicians and their ways of doing things, but it is another matter altogether to bait and lure them to the bank windows.The collection of relevant raw data costs mountains of cash and on top we would need a small army of juice providers.I know that we will get tons of info,but this info has to be verified. (thanks for the hand over there!) Greetings, Eddy Blinker PS: Pertaining the cost factor of the network, a thought for the night. Doroteo, you know how those venture capitalists are.One could actually have the nerve to ask to show him or her the difference in start up cost between a bloodless revolution and a full blooded one. What would you say? We don't want to look stupid or do we? I don't know myself except with the latter you save the attorney fee.
