The problem with today's youth is that they're too passionate about what they believe in. What happened to the good old days when people just shut up, kept their heads down and did what they were told?
I agree 100%. That is why I told Cranky to put the brakes on the thought of giving it all away like we did.
I am not quite sure at what the status is up there but we are slaves to cheap goods now.
Just showing they aren't unique.
R&D is the ony solution to a wavering resource economy. Canada was once a leader in R&D but now there is very little R&D being invested back in Canada from foreign owners of industry. They tend to keep it for themselves.
China completely lacks R&D but they sure can copy and out manufacture anyone around.
I just think we lack maps down here. That's what screwed us up.

There's a lot to be said for that, there are a Hell of a lot of people around nowadays who know just enough to be dangerous. If a guy aged 80 tells me something I tend to listen, if he's 100 I pay very close attention.
Research and Design. Discovering and creating new things.

" Wow! Brazil is big."

The lies were discovered, trust was lost, the sixties happened. Hippies brought their ideals to the world, ended war, brought about civil rights for non-white people. Bought houses, paid taxes, became the establishment, then the pigs they worked to unseat.
Now I think it is again time that the lies have been discovered.
Yes, that is an excellent analysis of why Canadians did not vote for the Bloq and the Liberals. Thank you.
We ended slavery, we developed democracy, and people were given liberty inch by inch, and they had to fight against this attitude you're expressing for every bit.
Now shut up and bake me a pie!
It's getting closer. They're not quite their yet, or should I say they haven't noticed yet given how much more diligent and professional the Canadian banking regulators have historically been at holding off a storm, but it has the highest household debt of the G8, plus it has the highest national debt to GDP ratio. The only thing holding off the panic is that Canadians tend to be more stable as hard workers, and since the time of Bennet they had the best regulators, but still they are extremely vulnerable to the global economy what with the way they chose to sell everything off instead of develop it themselves, such that in fact its financial position is better only than Greece's and is worse than Spain's.
It means, if we back off and look at things in the big picture, ironically the US is still in a better position; at least until the climate changes.
Let's back off and remember some of the stuff they used to teach in school. They used to teach that in the old days everyone had to be farmers, but then agriculture got efficient, such that it released many people to become available to work building civilization... things like sky-scrapers and libraries.
But those people cannot build sky-scrapers and libraries full of books unless they are fed, and the US is the world's greatest food producer... or at least it was until Monsanto moved in.
What it means is, given proper management, Americans could (before Monsanto) grow more food than they needed, and then set everyone not growing food to work building roads and dams and houses and everything everyone needs. It all boils down to agriculture and good social management, like the Deceleration of Independence called for. We the people, in order to build a more perfect society...
In the early days the US was so unexploited one could let Capitalists stuff themselves with oats to manure out enough for the sparrows to peck on, except now they are dumping their manure on China, and the Russians are *watching*.
In so many ways and on so many levels it's going to boil down to this: The US must do something about Monstanto and get control of food production back into the hands of the people. Political Geographers know that no nation on earth has ever got big and self-sufficient without first being able to feed itself. That's why Japan, to this day, insists upon self-sufficiency in rice production, regardless of the subsidy.
After that, you get good leaders, perhaps on the state level, able to see things like how to take the surplus food production and feed it to people willing to work on things like mile-high cities. I can see them. They have a spine like the Eiffel Tower, only with branches going out to support dwellings.
That way you end up with tens of thousands of people piled up in a vertical city, leaving way more agriculture land around. Everyone ends up with a home with a fantastic view. It is paid for by the labor of construction guys, fed by real farmers, and everyone ends up with a good place to live.
It's called trade, and it doesn't need a "global financial system" (ever notice how they'll tell you there is a "global financial system", but they'll never tell you how that "system" works... what's so "systematic" about trade?), and with proper management, the only people left pouting would be those who'd figured out a way to tap it.

Omnicron, can you please rephrase those 2000 words so we can be certain of what you meant?
I used 2000 word in order for it to be clear.
You want me to shrink it more?!?
Come on... if it gets pushed any further it will have to go to music.

Not that I would necessarily mind getting up on stage and plowing Mik Jaggar and Alice Cooper into the ground. I would still respect them. I would just be showing how much I learned.
But the music industry is complex, and not necessarily dependent upon talent... cats who would have aced Psychology if they had gone to University, but instead chose to use it to suppress in order to protect their own needs to have shelter and be clothed and eat.
In Japan they have an Annual "Oscars" awards ceremony, equivalent to the Oscars of American movies, only for Industry.
It is called the Dening Award, and it came from the American business philosopher who tried to teach Americans a better way to do things, but the MBAs put up a block, so his system got adapted to Japan, turning Japan into the greatest exporter of the 70's and 80's.
It's sort of like how whatzisname the Brit got rejected by his English Society in the late 1800's-early 1900's and went to Germany to teach them how to become the world's greatest Chemistry nation (leading to WW-I after they figured out how to make artificial chocolate and artificial gasoline, aka benzine).
In the mean time, in terms of social production, what's the difference between a snot brat born of royalty taking over a crown he or she is unqualified of, versus snot brats buying their way through Harvard to get control of industry when still equally unqualified, taking over finance and industry?

Powdermilk Biscuits. Made from whole wheat grown in the rich bottom-lands of the Lake Wobegon river valley by Norwegian bachelor farmers, so you know they're not only good for you, but also pure... mostly. Heavens, they're tasty and expeditious, giving shy persons the strength to get up and do what needs to be done. Look for them in the big blue box with the picture of a biscuit on the cover, or ready-made in the big brown bags with the dark stains that indicate freshness.

Hmm... Here be me the hater of Wobegon Capitalist dick-holes, but I can't help asking.
How would they feel about licensing the recipe for mass distribution, if it's that good?
A tonne of money can be saved on lawyer fees
All I'd do is turn over to them the money I would have spent on lawyers, and everyone would still make the same profit, plus the kids would now be living in a world with a better food.
The only trick is that it's easier to get American financing than Canadian financing, leading to capital outflow.
Hmm...
I'm thinking...
Jesus bloody Christ I think I know a way to make the NDP the greatest way for there to be prosperous business in Quebec, validating something the dumb-evil Capitalists can't stand... Sweden and Norway work, except in their civilization dicks are lucky licking stamps, so we combine that with a deal with the Americans trying to solve the problem of battle-fatigue where they play the guys through a simulated scenario in order to re-experience and re-write their mind, and we use that to get those guys to feel like they have economically taken over the world, in order for us to actually get things done to survive.
