Having survived the great ice storm of a few years ago, I realized it doesn't take billions of dollars to mitigate such a disaster. I have a gas furnace, and even if I had an oil furnace what stop the furnace from working was not lack of fuel. It was the lack of a minimal amount of electricity to

Having watched much of the recent discussions about the US President, policies, etc., and participated in some of these discussions, I am now thinking about the next election. This gives rise to a question - what are the qualities that you think the next president should possess? I, of

I'd be particularly interested in non-US perspectives. Is this supposed to become sort of a re-do of the ICANN elections ? Big show of global democracy and red tape orgy (everyone could be nominated and vote), just to discover in the end that the predators behind the scenes had their way anyway.
