This is just a repeat. You seem to have an agenda that is
conveniently incognito. (Too bad there is nothing new under the
sun, except the kleptomaniacs who just can't see their own person-

Assuming that you're moreso *there* than *here*, in an imperfect
world, the sea of humanity seems to foam more than when the
goodies get handed out, sounding more like "please kill me" than
"let's get out of here".

: They live in fear.

No doubt.

Problem Statement: Fear exists.
Problem Discussion: Mentors do not. Destroy all fear as "mentor"
in order to evacuate country. If total evacuation is not accom-
plished among the fearful, than either fear has been vanquished
or a stiff-necked people must be handed over to a reprobate
system of economics, promise markets gone sour notwithstanding.

Same treatment applies here.

Back to the worn out cliche, "What came first, the chicken
or the egg?" Do we have rotten eggs or no eggs? For this
instance I will replace the word "chicken" with "minority
group" and "eggs" with "rights".

O.K., no rights. Therefore, no rights are being promise-
marketed by the supposed "respectors" of minority groups.
Therefore, there are no real "rights" out there between
the two nations that can make new promise markets.

Whatever happened to trade shows, complete with new
technology, federal grant booths, and loud music for
the special guests?

But revolution and rebellion has always come from environ-
mental, external, or internal power struggles, as evidenced
by the the Ming, Xia, Shin, and various dynasties, in addi-
tion to the American revolution. But now we live in an
Apocryphal age of possibility. Either we do what needs to
be done NOW while there is a chance, or wait until any
one of a number of disasters strike. Time is running out.
America needs to build the first interstellar spacecraft
NOW, while there is still time for possibility. We can
use this vessel for galactic exploration, in finding new
Earths to inhabit. I've been continually researching the
various avenues that would make most or all of the research
reasonable, manageable, and profitable from a marketing
standpoint. It would be like a new gold rush to the stars
- even every-man-for-himself might discover something
incredible. News reports would come flowing in like a
mighty river from all parts of the galaxy. Fantastic stories
of disasters, combined with tales of heroic efforts and
pristine worlds, await the human race. We are only limited
by our ability to imagine, and then envision the possibilty
with our scientific intuition.

: So some people aren't as lucky and as happy as Americans,

People from all over the world need to be given a chance
to participate in their respective countries for a plan
that would identify and market their talents extrater-
restrially, in projects that are designed to create
explorers and survivors extraordinare - from the harshest
environments to the strictest confines of an interstellar
spacecraft - these are the rugged individualists that the
earth has prepared for our species.

In order to clear affected areas of hostile takeover and
before an enemy strike can be adversely effective, remote
access to satellite communication can act as an early warning
system for an approaching army or missle attack. This makes
an offensive war and the act of war itself, an act
of terrorism.

All the more reason to expect that we sould find a new
planet to inhabit rather than *destroying* the people in
the one that we have. I believe that there are an infinite
supply of new earths to inhabit. Would that not make us
invaluable assets to the kingdom of the transhabitable
Earth-God?

: So, either gradually the farms become too small to feed

You are noe retreating into your colonial box-of-tricks
that is bound to repeat the past of the post-Wilson
manipulatorium complex. Good luck with your mentors -
whoever they may be. Boxed thinking gets pretty stuffy
after awhile. Do yourself a favor. Take a look around
and tell me if you think that the U.S. is better off now
or during the 1950's. I think that the latter case will
make my point, but that is for you to decide.

Technological advance is also a double-edged sword. By
crowding more output into a land of feedstock, you're
also creating a much greater biogene of behavioral di-
versity, that has the opposite effect on overall cultural
make-up and well-being. Now we are forced to eat at the
same table with complete strangers, because the government
has squashed the hands and head of the independent farmer,
rather than giving him an opportunity to mini-mechanize
his own particular brand of harvest. I've often heard that
some people are PAID not to grow anything on their property
- what a waste. Yeah, it wouldn't help much, but it's the
few people or families that it WOULD help that makes the
difference.

Post war baby booms would put the age level median to
about 20 years old - the age at which either a person
goes on to a higher education or is drawn in to the
factory, i.e., big unionized north-east corridor manufac-
turing, energy, and associated product lines, including
airplanes, automobiles, non-composite electronics, and
the mentor-loaded military industrial complex. All of
these economies seemed to have been a giant laboratory
experiment for selective breeding, where sometimes the
'patient' could actually assume control of the outcome
of the logical business cycle. Naturally, there would
be a favoritism in the good-ol-boy school of thought,
but that was more 'survivalist' than 'technologist'.
It's the applied technology where I draw the line
between who are the 'haves' verses the 'have-nots'.

: This is possible for rich countries like the U.S.,

Transmigration to the stars is a fail-safe for that -
- If you want to be regarded as an advanced species,
that is, because throughout history, all civilizations
that continued to advance, formed different class
stratums within their culture - If you were from a
coastal land, you were a boatbuilder, if you were
from the desert, you might be expert at raising camels.
But if you were 'just passing through', you might
be considered as someone who brings good news of
another far-off land.

: But the conspiracy involved is just Big Business sup-
: porting economic theories that serve its interests;
: not some secret cabal in Switzerland or wherever.

Right, and there were no Masters of Deceit, as in the
$30 Billion BCCI scandal, financial institutions behind
the 2005 bankruptcy bill, the Savings and Loan and
Keating Five scandals, etc., etc., etc.

It *is not ironic* that Kleptomania has become as pure
as the wind driven snow. Then again, it's still not difficult
to separate the cheap wheat from the expensive chaff.
