I have yet to see something which even slightly resembles a valid point made
by unsettled.

It seems unsettled only has one bogeyman to call on. If you disagree with
him you are "un-American." If you questions anything your government does
you are "un-American." I am amazed he can even spell democracy.

I should have added the word useful to that sentence.

Tying up the military in babysitting jobs is doing nothing useful.
That seemed to be Clinton's style. I never understood it because
this approach did not work with Germany.

The computing technology has been an area where this was happening
fast and furiously. The industry is gradually maturing so that
will settle down. The current fast and furious industry is delivering
information over the nets. The next one will be banking and
trade services.

The next ones? I don't know. I suspect it might involve custom-made
items. That seems to already be getting started with car sales.

He'll object to that because they're too old. Google, E-bay,
Vehix(sp?). I can imagine a day where you login to General
Motors and fill out the specs for the car you want and have
it delivered in n days. I'd like to see this done with books ;-).
IOW, mass production will become blase for anything other than
computer equipment :-))).

Good grief. Pendantic. Yep. Nowadays, nobody has to wait for
their parents to die before making oddles of money.
