I have no qualms about this. I only want to point out one thing. We the people, mostly of the US, if you are supposedily so intelligent and so great (so occasionally foolhardy young in this world) have to establish and balance some long term goals. Yes yes short-term survival... But you may have read history books about the early exploration and colonization of the "New World." You should visit Canada and stop by the Hudson's Bay Company (the pred. to Macy's etc.). Who will the HBC's of the future. Will he have HBC-like companies? Will they be better and wiser? Space is a harsh place, more so than your short experience on earth can tell you. Space is BIG, really big! 8) What can you say but gross generalizations? --eugene miya, NASA Ames Research Center, eugene@aurora.arc.nasa.gov resident cynic at the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers: "You trust the `reply' command with all those different mailers out there?"
