My first hypothesis of three or four months ago regarding US policy on Iraq
was that it was designed to exert pressure on the whole region but mainly
on Saudi Arabia in order for the royal family to curtail the power of the
Wahhabi mullahs, so preventing an insurrection and take-over by Islamic

Klein's bad idea for school vouchers
Alberta Premier Ralph Klein ended 2002 with another of his famous idea
balloons:
a) much that is posted here has little to do with the future of work unless you consider that living in the real world, i.e. knowing what is going on, affects EVERYTHING YOU DO...unless you keep your head in the sand
b) you don't think that the technological trends of today dictate the parameters

significantly helps.
You are right about our being manipulated into buying all these gadgets we
don't really need.
Look how people were persuaded to turn from good solid wood stoves to gas
and electric stoves.
Then,
It is an interesting thing to find out how much
capital for the current world is based upon former deals with Nazis, or being
the Drug Lords that conquered China and made addicts of millions to open the
market for tea. So the Iraqi oil is the future capital for the
work in the 21st century.
Good points, Harry. But you have to admit that we've become a consumer
culture. My wife and I are as guilty as anyone. In one corner sits an
exercise bike, very rarely used. In another, a shredder, used once. We
have four computers around the house, more than enough for a family of

Ray,
How right you so often are.
We should stop the drug war overnight - or we say, between tea and breakfast.
Decriminalize all drugs. Allow them to be sold at any pharmacy.

Agree. Especially when one is on many lists, there
