That's toally different from us people with a scientific background, who still believe that we're constrained by physical laws. Or math. Or reason. Or logic. It works because politicians don't even get close to breaching natural laws. They are content with much, much simpler achievements. Personal wealth, power or just making certain other people feel miserable. However, Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, has studied physics. I'm wondering if she would be open to scientific solutions. Or if there political contrains which would prevent her from actually persuing solutions. - Klaus _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
