    The REAL solution was covered in an episode of Sliders. There is an optional lottery for everyone. If you win, you get treated to riches equal to your wildest dreams, but soon after you have to take an extended sleeping pill. That makes me think of another interesting possibility. If we could perfect cryogenic technology, we could freeze a few billion people until we come up with some solutions for pollution and such. And perhaps just let it solve itself over a few hundred years while the environment cleanses itself. Then, we thaw them and they continue life as if nothing had ever happened.

    If we freeze the politicians, we'll be half way there!

      with San Francisco! My first foray into the United States and this place looks great. :) Apart from my actual work, I've earmarked plenty of time for sight-seeing. Any suggestions on places to see? And the streets are so organized here that I got lost :laugh:

      IIRC, San Rafael is where you'd find all the Sequoias. A must see in my opinion.

              Sorry I meant to say North Carolina. Charlotte is in North Carolina. I was in a hurry when I made my original post and didn't proof read it.

                Right you are about the spelling. I also misstated the location. I was in a hurry and didn't proof read my post. Another even smaller city that is supposed to be a good location in SC is Charleston.

                        Well, I figured the politicians and the lawyers would at least make good fertilizer, since they're all so full of shit.

                            Market Street after dark, (or after 9pm), then you will have a more balanced view of San Francisco.

                                When I was a kid I went to the Exploratorium: http://www.exploratorium.edu/[^] It was like heroine for an aspiring nerd. I wanted to live there... There are massive numbers of really nice restaurants in SF to try. Just don't stay too long: get out before California collapses into anarchy.

                                  A matter of semantics only. I'm reminded of a couple of my favorite lawyer jokes: Q: What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start. Q: Why did the shark not eat the swimming lawyer? A: Professional courtesy.

                                        The penninsula rocks. I used to live in Mountain View; before that, in Cupertino. (And before that Santa Clara, San Jose...) Check out Big Basin (or, alternatively, the Armstrong grove in Sonoma); hit a winery first and hang in the big trees catching a buzz. Hard to beat. :-D

                                        I was stationed at Moffet Field way back when and lived in Mountain View as well.
