the standpoint of just
maximizing profits with no attention to other consequences. Is this
just shortsighted self interest or a political philosophy?

I believe there is a Ferengie trader in your area that might be able to

it in place against the wind you would only get back the energy you used

In retrospect, it would have been cheaper in both blood and money to
have kept Sadam under scrutiny and contained him instead of invading.

With respect to the US contribution to the European theater consider
that at Stalingrad the German losses were 300,000 and the Russian
400,000 and Stalingrad was a battle that the Russians won! At Kursk the
Germans lost 100,000 killed and wounded and the Russians 250,000 killed
and 600,000
I think the thesis here is a bit of a reach. At the time of the
invasion the dollar was not in the shape it is now. In fact one reason
for the decline is the cost of the war. I still lean to the theory
that Sadam was seen as a threat to the region and eventually would
threaten US access
Dear Hakan,
You are, of course, correct as far as the fighting in Europe. The
Soviet Union fielded some 540 divisions to the German 250+ and the US
87. By the time of the Normandy invasion Germany had lost. The
critical battles of the war were arguably Stalingrad, Kursk, Karkov, and
The presidential election is in four years but the off election for

We took out Hitler because Germany declared war on us after Japan

I have no doubt about global warming only about the sources of the

Please forgive if this is a stupid question. You said the energy

Thanks so much for your response. It address a question I have been
curious about. You say we are at or near the peak of production of
oil. Is that because the amount of oil given the present reserves can
not be extracted faster or is it because it is not profitable to extract
it
You are right of course. I should study the whole treaty rather than
rely on what I read about it. Also, my thanks to you for untangling my
sentence about Republicans.
I may be being a pessimist here but I don't see the world doing much

Thank you. I couldn't remember if it was just bacteria or a combination

I think the problem is not the current levels of consumption but the
change in rate of consumption. China and Southeast Asia are undergoing
a huge increase in their rate of consumption of oil, a rate that in the
long run is unsustainable.How long do you think over half the worlds

This is not so wild an idea as you suggest. I remember reading a few

I liked your response. Partly, I suppose, because it accords with my

This is probably going to be a matter of local and maybe state
regulation. I would first check with your local health and fire
departments to see if there are city or county regulations. They can
put you on to any state regulations. As far as I know there are no
