"I want to take those profits. And I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to fund alternative smart energy, alternatives and technologies that will actually begin to move us in the direction of independence."

While I agree with energy independence, Isn't that socialism?
I hope you don't have a 401k with energy stocks.

I believe that George W. Bush is doing enough to clean up the enviroment. Since Bush has been President, I have noticed that the rivers and oceans are cleaner, pollution is down, and that more Americans are interested in cleaning up the enviroment. Also, Bush is very passionate about stopping Global Warming too.

OK, we brought you the statue of Liberty and French fries, but is that enough a reason to worship our country and people? I live partly in the US, and I feel sometimes embarrassed to see the amazement on the face of people when I tell them: "I'm French".

I thought the government and its elected officials were supposed to represent the people. If so why do so many Republicans in office still support the pointless war in Iraq when their constituents don't? And will they be thrown out of office by the voters in 08 because of this mindless support?

Prime example of course is Nancy Pelosi who wants severely high tax rates on the actual working americans so she can further support wasteful social spending,yet I notice she wasn't trying so hard to give of her millions as she made them. She wants severe restrictions on the use of Fossil Fuels but was she pushing for those restrictions as she made millions off of stock in oil companies. She wants to push for increase in minimum wage ( God Help me I Agree With Her on That One) but doesn't want to increase it in American controlled Somoa which helps Tuna companies that just happen to be headquartered in her district. Does this woman ever follow the rules she wants for all of us? Thinki about that the next time she flies around in a private jet getting 30 gallons to the mile while she demands we drive around in cars so small as to insure the death of our whole family in the event of a major collision.

Okay, In Friedman's book, The World Is Flat, he talks about 10 things that have made the world flat (in other words have leveled the playing field for globalization to take place). He names these 10 as:
1. Berlin Wall Falling
2. Web started and netscapre went public
3. work flow software
4. uploading
5. outsourcing
6.offshoring
7. supply-chaining (ie with walmart)
8.insourcing (ie UPS does more than postal delivery, it as does computer repairing etc in the US)
9. informing (information age- google,etc)
10. the steroids- digital, mobile, personal, and virtual

CAN anyone think of what could be a possible candidate for a future #11???? Something else that has contributed to leveling the playing field for globalization to take place?

My brother in law recently passed away. He had no will. They owned property worth 48,000. This is the place where my sister and her children reside. The brother in law had a loan against the home for 8000. Which was paid for when he passed away, but now the loan company where they had the loan wants to take it to probate court. Also today she recieved a letter from a creditor that he had years ago about a mobile home that he had with his ex wife, and they are wanting 26000. My question is what can my sister do, this home is the only place that she and the kids have to live and she has no job?"
