| a negative income tax or a guaranteed wage for every citizen. It would be enough for basic house, a basic car and perhaps some things and if you want more, then you can work for it or find your passion and make money that way. that would save lots of money in the long run.

| I wish I had been born in more of a socialist country. I admit the side of that in me too. I'm caring for Mom with stage IV breast cancer, she and myself are determined to fight it, it is an uphill battle, but people have lived with stage IV for years an years with a fairly good quality of life. I ... |

| ^^^ "falling down" was about the downer-est of downer movies AFAIC. I felt like I was torn up and rubbed in dogshat after watching it. Yeah, man, I hear ya. "Country" from 1984 with Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard was a downer too, especially when Sam's character tried to talk his friend out of shoot... |

| When I was younger, I always liked villains better than heroes. Still do. They seemed more real. The heroes always had complex motives and lots of interpersonal connections. The villains were simple. Plus, they dressed better and were usually smarter. :) Sometimes I do too. Many times I think they ... |

| I know here in the U.S., you can get set top boxes that will convert HDTV signals into the NTSC that older sets use. I assume in Europe, you can do the same thing by downconverting the digital TV signal into PAL or SECAM. I've been using the same TV set since 1983, a 1982 Zenith, and we have a conve... |

Star Trek would not be where it is without the original series. Also... I enjoyed the Animated series as well. Since they have many of the writers and... |
