Whadda I Do Whadda I Do Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 I relied heavily on my Dad for information on the world's countries during his travels. If he wasn't helping defeat Japan he was visiting there. As suspected the world is full of the meek just trying to scratch out a living. In the late 70s had relatives from Poland visit. In a regular supermarket (here) and their first experience inside one, the first question out from their mouths was, "Are you allowed to buy all these things on the shelves?" Long lines for a loaf of bread, a black market in Levi's and gas rationing were what they were used to at home. Took one of the guys to work in construction for 3 days, paid him more money than he made at home in 3 months. Gave it to his wife, duh! Many improvements in Polish life now. Trips up the Yangstze in China, Russian Mafia beer prices, Australian outback and Great Barrier Reef, Europe's museums, Israel, England, concentration camps, Chile, Mexico....basically his comment was that the world was wrapped in chains of history and was always glad to be home. Most notable is how when traveling he was a wine and beer drinker per the local customs because good drinking water was difficult to find. As to IBM, yes they are working on the next improvement for Asian standard of living but if you look at AMD's patent list for the last 3 to 4 years, they have been a leader in chip technology and in production techniques, a company that can't show a profit.

BAREister Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 HRFF may be misSTEAKun butt they're SNOT using spent fuel to irradiate meat/food. It's a real-life witches' brew of unbelievably toxic/lethal isotopes of eternal duration. They're probably not using low level radioactive waste for that purpose, either, nor transuranic waste, nor defense department waste streams from weapons manufacture, nor... Nope. They're probably creating NEW waste in the process. Spent fuel is good for reprocessing and if one has lethal intention, seperating weapons' grade isotopes from aFURmentioned witches' brew. It creates it's own waste streams, as does fusion. Most nuclear plant fissile material that is spent is stored in huge pools of water, on-site. It isn't encased in anything except the graphite rods that have been irradiated in the reactor core, in most instances, if HRFF is correct. Ceramic is one method being contemplated. Glass is another. They really have yet to come up with something truly satisfactory that can withstand the enormous heat generated by spent fuel rods over millenia. Those rapidly filling spent fuel storage pools are a slowly building crisis that has received relatively scant media attention. It's also lending urgency to prompt the feds to come up w a permanent repository. Haven't some of the Europeans banned irradiated food? Or is The BARE confusing that with genetically modified food. Wonderful. You can go to a fast food joint and get an irradiated burger on a bun that is made of genetically modified grains, and have it microwaved. The Russians, allegedly, have banned microwave ovens FUR health-related reasons, butt that's anUDDER topic altogether. Russian mafia beer? Some Russian beer is excellent. Yes, what HRFF consumed was controlled by the local "cardinal". Was he mafia? BARE's hosts deny it. As to a fuel shortage, meaning, more specifically, an oil shortage - see the current ed. of The New Yorker, which arrived in BARE's mailbox yesterday for a superb article on same and the KEY role IRAQ will play in avoiding one IF they get it's fields up and running, which they are having trouble doing. Anyone who entertains the conceit that we didn't want to turn Iraq into a gas station FUR The Shrub, to use the expression of a son of a client who is a Marine who wasn't wild about being sent there, should read that article. If Iraqi oil doesn't flow, in quantity, and if we don't find new sources in quantity, in the event it doesn't we'll be between Iraq and a hard place, ass 'twere. Interestingly, a Princeton professor is predicting a looming oil crisis. He's being attacked FUR doing sew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Russian beer is excellent. Yes, what HRFF consumed was controlled by the local "cardinal". Was he mafia? BARE's hosts deny it...... I was following the words submitted on paper that metamorphosed into the law of the land concerning irradiation at its inception. There was a pile of waste/byproduct to get rid of kinda like flouride. At least that was my understanding at the time. Sterile things do have a long shelf life, not much advantage in human consumption. Expect a naming of a new disease soon. If there is a better description on the word mafia than the church's example then I would like to hear it. Dollar has to tank for meaningful bear droppings, becareful of the election erection this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morass Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Because there is nothing productive and useful, nothing of value, behind all this blizzard of paper. That?s the rub Bob isn?t it. What?s the likelihood of having one more big refinance fest? We would need to see 4 and 3% fixed loans from here to get another round going. Will that happen? Can it? 3% fixed 60 year housing loans. No payments for 20 years and you get a free key chain. There are some areas that are growing besides the stock market which produces nothing. There?s security. We are paying police a lot of overtime to look for some unusual bad things that could happen. Unfortunately, gobs of typical bad things are happening because we can?t afford to pay police to watch for those. So we can?t really call that productive. There is the prison system. We are filling it up and building it out by the day. But taking people off the tax roles, busting up their families and training them to become better criminals is not too productive. Then there is pornography. That?s the only part of my wife?s company that is still breathing at all. The other digital video stuff they work on has taken a crap. Pornography doesn?t hurt anyone in my opinion but it also doesn?t produce anything of substance. Just can?t think of anything productive happening now or planned to happen by our brilliant leaders. We could have taken the hundred billion we spent on liberation and the 4 billion per week we are spending to continue the liberation and instead spent the bucks creating a new renewable energy and transportation system within this country. But that would have spread the wealth out over a wide number of people instead of keeping it in the hands of the few who pull the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
