HaHaHa, money goes "maybe" to the Russian economy!? Sounds like you are smoking something!
As a matter of fact, sounds like you are out of touch!
Your comments sound like a recording of Rush and the Republican Party.
Give me a break. I spend money on myself like the rest of the world, to survive. I wouldn't spend it on getting blasted out of this world, FOR FUN!
$20 M on myself?! No wonder much of the world hates Americans! It is not the American ideas they hate, it is the self-indulgence. The over-indulgence. The, it's all about me attitude!
Just stop and think for just a small, self-indulgent, minute. How many people could $20 M help in OUR country? Forget helping the Russiona economy!!!! Help OUR American citizens!!!
Oh yeah, he would get a tax break to boot. How often do celebrities get publicity for donating a few hundred thousand dollars. Big deal! They probably get a tax break on the total anyway. It is the hard working middle class population that gives taxes, gives donations to the relief funds, gives to car washes, gives to schools fund raisers, gives, gives, gives. When I hear of a single person spending $20 M on himself simply to brag about being blasted to outer space, it bogles my mind on the self-indulgent attitude people have. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he probably gave $20 zillion to charity. Yeah Right!
I am so disgusted with the thought of someone spending $20 Million on HIMSELF! When there are so many people in our country in need.
This disgusts me on how the media portrays this as a luxury when it should portray this as a SHAME!
How can anyone with that much money think of nothing else but spending it on HIMSELF!
$20 Million will go a long way helping people in poverty, single moms, homeless, etc.
Excuse me, but I really don't want to hear the privileged talking about going to work, get off drugs and welfare, etc, because the reality is, there are way too many WORKING POOR!
This is a real problem in our country and the media glamorizing this extravagence disgusts me, as it should any socially conscious person in the civilized world!
OK. You didn't mention Novell's eDirectory.
AD works for small networks. It might even work for medium sized networks. If you want something that is going to scale, Novell wrote the book on directory services. They have their Small Business Suite of products. If you want to cobble(?), kludge it together, well you can look at open source solutions. In my opinion, directory services from open source isn't quite baked.
When oh when are we going to have some leadership? Making bigger highways, producing more cars, depending on more oil.
When oh when are we going to have some leadership that will lead us to oil independance?
Have we learned nothing of the oil imbargo of the seventies? If we did, thirty years later, our leaders would of had our country on an energy independance course.
When oh when are we going to get our heads out of the sand and realize that continuing to depend on oil is a hopeless proposition.
When oh when are we going to encourage mass public transportation?
California is a mess. Because of lack of leadership in California, there is not a way a person can easily travel from one end of the state to the other using only public mass transit. You are doomed to being forced to use a car. Try taking a train to LA and transfering to the airport. You can't without paying a $30 van ride.
Unless of course, you want to lug all your luggage on a public bus! Why didn't our leaders think to connect LA's union station to the airport with the Metro? Or try taking a train from Fresno to LA. You have to get off the train in Bakersfield and board a bus to LA's Union Station!!!. Talk about lack of vision.
When oh when are we going to stop fooling ourselves that we are spreading Democracy in Iraq?
When oh when are we going to start encouraging conservation?
When oh when are we going to start encouraging recyling?
When oh when are we going to start encouraging alternate fuels?
If we as a society truly wanted to spread our way of live to all living inhabitants of this earth, the earth as we know it will be a sucked out, lifeless piece of shit floating around in the universe.
It is totally absurd to think that 10 percent of the world's population can continue consuming 25 percent of the natural resources and expecting the rest of the world to follow that lead.
If we as a scociety truly wanted to lead the world, we need leadership that will encourage, at best, not using any more natural resources than we put back, and at best, put back more than we have used.
There already have been projects that prove, a house can have zero impact on the local environment, if we choose to encourage its use.
As Chris Rock to eleguently puts it, "The hypocracy of Democracy"
When oh when will we have some leadership?
Leadership is done by example, not by legislation and imperialism!
