That is some bullshit line I ever heard, If everyone in the USA disagree to go with the war then President Bush wouldn't have said go ahead? Bush never asked us what we want. I did not vote for Bush for two years, And what make you think we all wanted the war? Bush is the one who annouced it and say "We are going to have a war" Did not even ask us to vote on it. Don't be silly.

I did not say that President declare the war pay attention to my words I said Bush did start up with saying he wanted the war. Of course nothing is a go ahead without Congress approve just like changing the Constitution.

I find this hard to believe is because alot of American people do not want to see a war happening and they sure don't agree on having a war either, so it was more of what Bush wanted and push the Congress in agreeing to this too, so its the government who made that choice by seeking a war not the American people....

If I had to vote then my answer will be NO because I rather to have peace than war!

I think its really a question of balance and too many people on the planet for it to support. When 20% of the population consumes 80% of the planets resources it becomes a major problem. In the past a war would bring it somewhat back into balance, but now I think it has gotten out of control and we can't afford to have WWIII.

Yeah, I am saying that Congress can't do anything without our feelings or decision. If congress do other than with our decision then that congress won't be congress for next term. Other possilbe that the business or forgien brides congress for some votes. I am not going to be surprised with the brides situation.

I suppose Bush failed to see that rebuilding Iraq is more expensive than rebuilding America. I think all 50 states will love to have $1 billion dollars from the federal government. Instead we have to spend $50 billion or more a day in Iraq. If we have to keep the troops until 2007 that means the total will be $35,000 billion dollars!

All in all, you are saying that what we know now will be old news when 50 years come around, we will know the stuff we don't know right now? Like 50 years ago, we don't know the stuff we know today. If we use it properly, by the year 2050, a catastrophe will not happen. Not only that but we will be converting what we use now, into something that do not contribute to global warming, pollution or the deteriotating of the environment? i.e. your example of converting gas engines into hydrogen fuel cells, which will mean 20 years later, we won't even touch oil anymore? We will have no use for oil anymore now that we are able to use water to power up our cars. There might be a cure for AIDs soon and like you said, stem cell research is making a breakthrough because my friend's mother had to get one of her teeth removed, then the dentist placed a tiny material inside her gum and one week later, she grew another tooth. Technology has changed, but not rapidly because it takes a while to adapt to the newfound materials/inventions. There are researches, test groups, release it to a control group and see if the audience like it, the pros and cons and then try to make it more mainstreamed by distributing it to the public and then work on it some more to see if it can be reduced in cost by changing some kind of material and on, just like what Japan is doing now with their technological devices. The cycle goes on and on and when the cycle continues, it get better by the end of the cycle and a new cycle begins, a new hypothesis is developed with the knowledge applied to it, and goes through the development stages till the end of the cycle. If we know more than we do now, it won't hurt us and it will indeed help us prevent and defend ourselves from anything that could cause harm.

Did I get that right? If not, please correct anything I made an error on.

Close PAF, but you are still thinking in a straight line. If you do not keep yourself up on the leading edge of technology DAILY, you will be lost in TEN years, not fifty. In my lifetime we have gone from a sliderule to portable computers. You will see comperable advances in the next ten years. Lead time from concept to production of materials and products is also compressed. I worked on the moulds and assembly process for the Avalanche truck grille a mere eight months before we were in full production. In that eight months, five running changes were made in the overall design, eight in the components, twelve in the paint processes, and more in the final assembly process.
