you mean it's not already in a 2 year slump? huh. -c

There's one easy way to prove the effectiveness of 'letting the market decide' when it comes to environmental protection. It's spelt 'S-U-V'. --Holgate, from Plastic

The propoganda we are being fed to prepare us for war ? I'm not saying it's not at least partially true, I am just saying our leaders are manipulating us in preperation for giving us a pop gun and putting us on the front line to die. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I meant for the next 2 years. Its unlikely that it will be in a slump that long since most recessions last only 3-6 months.

If this stuff is true I think the entire worl community needs to take a look at itself and figure out why these things are allowed to go on for so long. (My first guess would be to avoid war) Chris Fill me with your knowledge, your wisdom, your coffee.

Well, that's what "leaders" have done to their people for centuries, so we should not be very surprised. I just wish they would at least try to be a little more creative in their propaganda: having "War on Iraq" all over the cable news channels all the time for the past several month is getting a bit boring...

It was enough to say: "Let's go to war, kill some men, rape some women, and burn some cities.", and people would go to war. Now they need all kind of silly excuses like human rights. :zzz: :beer:

A group of people can't be generous, thoughtful, trusting, effective, and selfless for long enough at the same time to come up with usable solutions to human nature. Just think of meetings where 2-3 people can barely agree on some stupid feature to add to a piece of software, let alone attacking the natural order of human interaction. BW "I'm coming with you!

Yes, I noticed the same thing. The timing of the release and the concern with which the governments give to the report are evidence that it is political. At the same time, Amnesty international is playing politics by criticizing the report. Because they are opposed to war, they are speaking up. If they weren't opposed to war, they wouldn't speak up. The argument that they are merely "pointing out the truth of the matter, rather than playing politics", is remarkably similar to an argument the government might use for releasing the information.
