    If you think that they are _going broke_, I have some beautiful oceanfront property in Wyoming you might be interested in.

    I live in the sticks now, and it is still the same. 3 maybe 4 channels if you are lucky. Thankfully I can't sit in front of a T.V. for more than 15 minutes anyhow.

    I don't know what part of the States you are living in, but I'm living in north-east Florida & I've never seen diesel be more expensive than gasoline.

    Heh, my step-father has a custom Blazer that pulls about 5mpg. I've seen this 500Hp monster pull down trees, go though stuff you couldn't walk through, and pull a doublewide trailer out into the middle of a street (no tires) when the scumbags residing in it wouldn't take the hint of the eviction notice....

    As for the gene-pool, I promise you he's a smarter man than 90% of the people you know.

    The thing is, there are already laws that cover this stuff. Ever heard of reckless endangerment? That's what you get is you get in a wreck while you are trying to change a cd, eat a burger, whatever. We don't need more laws when existing laws work fine.

    That's why we need to boost our research levels to discover new superdense, (physically) unbreakable materials. Then we use those to build the space elevator to get the toxic waste out of our atmosphere safely.

    umm...I still know lots of people without computers. If infrastructure companies decided to do this, how would they recieve payment from the less tech inclined. I don't think they would me handing out emachines to the constituents or anything like that.

    I haven't used GRASS but I'll take your word for it. Unfortunately, our customers pretty much choose medium in which we work. I had planned on checking GRASS out but I never got around to it, with my Linux machine down & all. Hardware of course.
