Granted I for one count the cost of 9.11's innocent lives greatly but if our species is ever to truly evolve past aggression we "moral" nations that have nuclear weaponry must one day put them aside- & not use them. -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 greg_____photo(dot)com |

Heck, I'm with you on this but unfortunaterly rich boys from countries like Saudi Arabia offer little choice. Sometimes it's an "us or them" equation.Personally I'd love to see every nuke taken apart, and the scrap metal used for something good while simultaneously lowering or even eliminating the cost of supporting such a useless arsenal as 500+ nukes. Of course none of this is likely to happen in our lifetimes as the politicos that run our country won't allow it. Too much pac money involved. How about if we took that scrap metal and the uranium and made an atomic-powered electric railway ? == John - Photographer & Webmaster www.puresilver.org - www.xs750.net |

Errrr, mean to say "5000+" as I think that's a ballpark on how many the US still has sitting around. == John - Photographer & Webmaster www.puresilver.org - www.xs750.net |

Or how about personal one seated atomic powered anti gravity bi-directional propeller driven flying machines without any safety features That way all the kooks and bad "drivers would a self correcting solution" Believe it or not I'm actually kinda serious. Given the escalating prices of (un)real estate in large cities such as Nashville, many of us commute a significant distance to work just to live outside "Dodge City". 60 miles each way in my case but this actually isn't that high compared to many who commute into L.A. or N.Y.C. daily. It would seem to me that one of the most reasonable solutions to the the fossil fuel debacle is mass transit. Imagine our government putting in 4 high speed commuter trains with commuter accesses 30 miles out from each city. Less fuel used, less pollution, less traffic jams and far fewer accidents. So instead of having an 8-lane highway such as I-24, I-65 or I-40, we could do quite well with a 4-lane road while saving about 3 gallons of fuel per rider per day. Oh but I forgot ! That would mean that the governments wouldn't be getting monies from the taxes they have on gasoline ! That amounts to $665,000,000 annually here in Tennessee. "Yeah, so who wants the next contract for expanding I-24 again ?" !$!$!$! == John - Photographer & Webmaster www.puresilver.org - www.xs750.net |

Few use it compared to those that commute via car. The bigger problem I see is shy of the "safe" downtown stations many of the stops that might be close to destinations one could go in ones car are in horribly crime ridden areas. If one is traveling on foot or waiting for the bus one is endangering ones life in many instances, thats here in Baltimore.
