I was just posting pretty much the same thing. My post:
I'm thinking that whenever scientists try to put a limit on nature, she turns around and slaps them upside the head.
I agree with your reply for the most part. The one thing that keeps getting overlooked by the majority of comments I've seen, is that Obama's campaign people asked Anthony to come up with a figure. If that figure was too much, the campaign people could have negotiated, instead of accusing him of blackmail.
With all the unknowns here, I'd have to say, that a negotiation would've been better than the way this turned out.
I agree with much of this. The US has supported groups for its own "plan" or the world, which has led to much of these problems. Many of the world hate the US Government's views and politics in the world. I, myself, hate them somewhat. Who are we to enforce things on other nations?
The biggest thing on my mind, is that we lost so many lives that day, but every day in other parts of the world, particularly in the Middle East, many people lose their lives. Yes, the motives are different, but the US being involved over there is what led to the whole thing.
Why doesn't somebody suggest September 11 as being a WORLD holiday. Having a day to remember all the victims of terror and violence in the world would be a wonderful thing. And when so many other nations spent those few weeks and months after the attacks, sending us their condolences and such, we owe them that much. We should be remembering all the victims of violence, not just our own country's. I, for one, intend on doing this, as much as possible in my little part of the world. Over 3,000 people died on that day in the US, but so many others have died in a similar fashion and deserve the same thoughts and prayers.
May the victims of violence all over the world rest in peace and help us remember how horrible this violence has been.
I don't think this gentleman is too far fetched. I think having localized internet might be beneficial for different cultures. I believe with the internet the way it is, though, we are able to do this...with the co.uk extensions and such.
The ability to do this is already there though, so why not, instead of breaking off from the current internet, just create an environment for different countries with main hubs for web pages? This could be easily accomplished and would make this guy happy I do believe.
Just my two cents.
