The cost of the Iraq war is expected to top $2,000,000,000,000 (two trillion dollars).
That would add up to $250 for every human being alive on this planet today.
Two trillion is a lot to spend on Iraq. The whole country that is smaller than Texas.
They are estimating 32,000 Americans have died in Iraq.
The way I understand it, we blow up the hospitals, then hire our buddies to rebuild them.
If that wasn't the intent, it is the result. Speaking of Texas, that is where a lot of the money ends up.
With the (mis?)information on the internet, that is more than easy to figure out.
Death and profits, thats the worst kind of business!
I would believe that fuel emissions will choke the life out of this planet in 20 years, anyway.
I've been across the country several times in the last decade. THE AIR IS WORSE! You can see it.
Gas engine technology is ancient.
The first self-powered vehicles ran on water.
There is little interest in actually improving resource conservation.
The governor of Nevada wants to burn coal! yikesssss!
Our new governor described coal as a non fossil fuel and he wants to truck it in and process it here. Why?
But this state has an abundance of solar power.
In a second, I would reason that harnessing steam power of underwater volcanos would be extremely efficient.
But we are not going to use solar power.
We are going to burn fossil fuels even if it kills us, and it will.
The world won't be a better place, until we totally eliminate inheritance.
Everyone should contribute to improving the quality of life as a whole.
No one should be born into a life barking out commands to adults born on the wrong side of the tracks.
We need to learn to share.
The kings and slaves of the past are still here, we just call them the rich and the middle class.
Once we get past the master / slave mentality, we'll stand a chance to coexist with nature.
There is a great need for greed.
But I don't believe one child should kill another because he wants their toys.
Our society's greed is based on personal possessions.
To our kind, it is the quality of our life, and damn everyone else.
