I wish no ill will to people who have a few wires crossed as long as they're
not hurting anyone, but no, I don't associate with them on a regular basis.
I hope these 2, pointing to Norway instead of Iraq, don't have college
educations. That would be sad.

While technically, you can make a bomb out of Hydrogen isotopes, that's not
what Hydrogen bombs are. The way I understand them, "Hydrogen" bombs are a
fissionable core surrounded by Lithium and encased in another fissionable
shell. When the bomb explodes, the fission reactions change the Lithium into
Hydrogen isotopes on the spot which then fuse under the heat/pressure of the
fission chain reaction, thus releasing a lot more energy. This is why they
are sometimes called fission-fusion bombs. So, I guess I should have said
that the materials that would be used/created in a Fusion power plant are
not the materials used to make bombs.

Would we be much better off if Solar panels were much more efficient? Heck
Yeah! But I remain skeptical as to whether (even under optimal efficiency)
it will ever be feasible to produce the bulk of the world's growing energy
usage with Solar panels. I guess if I had a magic slider that controlled the
research efforts between Solar and Fusion, I'd probably set it somewhere in
the range of 20% Solar : 80% Fusion. But that's just me...

Some of us take that as a compliment :-)

I just found this article on a possible (very rough) time horizon for
Fusion:
http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20021125-035622-1734r

So, yes, 35 years is a relatively long way off. But I would still be funding
the hell outta all of the experiments to move it along as fast as possible
;).

Hmm....not sure certainly I was driven by my dad to read everything I
could get my hands on regarding philosophy, but he had been schooled
in Paris and he had a knack for being able to argue any political
theory. It wasnt till much later in life after I had independently
discovered Ayn Rand that I found out he was a big fan of hers.

I read Atlas Shrugged and thru the entire book found myself saying
RIGHT, YEA.....no shit....oh my you thought of that too....I then read
everything else by her. Then I read Marx Das Capital to see if I
disagreed with him as much as she did....I did.

Much much later in life I discovered that both my Mom and Dad had
flirted with Socialist nonsense till my Dad discovered Anarchy...when
they were both very young. Mom once told me the old saw about "If at
18 you arent a socialist you have no heart, if you are still a
socialist at 30 you have no brains"

I dont actually consider Professors to be either very wise or
intelligent as a rule....usually my experience has shown that they
just are failures at life and find refuge as Professors from the
rigors of life.

Libertarians are generally pretty damn smart....hehe.

Nope it wont remain unlimited...it will begin to become more and more
expensive...oh my...sky is falling. But thats a pretty far point in
the future....dont sell your shares in any oil companies just
yet...matter of fact your Great Grand Children will prosper from them.

When its cost rises past the point of others technologies those
technologies will take over....oh my god...is that how it works.

Just as coal took over from wood and oil took over from coal..the
world will somehow muddle through unless the Eco Freaks who hate
humans *** it up.

Gee Dave those negotiating tactics are a real puzzle to you arent
they.

No what they wanted was no inspections or inspections with no teeth in
them....what they got were inspections that virtually guarantee that
Saddam violates them. Not sure if you noticed but we have been
building up an awful lot of forces....awful lot. War has already
started with Spec Ops in the North and South.

Thats odd I saw alot of damning evidence....why didnt you?

Yup he sure is embarrassed...so am I. My only problem with Bush is he
may not be moving fast enough to eliminate the threats.

Gosh we lost already..?? I was under the impression that this war was
gonna be a long one...but after a year you say we have lost..? Wow you
must be a mother***er of a strategist....are you a General?

Dave do you see Black Helicopters flying around your house often...?

Ah but your view shows how immature and thoughtless you are. Were you
to consider that the world runs on oil and that were it to stop many
many lives would come to an abrupt end you might want to reconsider
that bit of Elitist Leftist tripe. Or do you think all those tractors
that produce all that food run on your hopes and good wishes, do you
think that all that heat and all those water purification plants run
on your dreams and so many more things that Im sure you can imagine if
you would take the time.

I would like to restate my belief that many people here are of college
age...the statement below is definitely High School or Middle School
material...though even then I knew people that knew how the world
worked.

Might does not make right my friend.  In fact, might is *rarely* right.
    Who are we to tell any other nation what they can/cannot have?  If
you wanna stop terrorism, stop f*cking around in other people's countries.

Any economic system that necessitates exploiting your fellow human being
& destroying the planet we live on in order to survive is worthless.

Thanx for the age compliment. :-)  My oldest step kid just turned 30
last week.

Uncle Fester,

I'd give up on him.

There's just no hope for some of these young pups.  ;O)
