40/ Green, After YOUTUBE, comes movies at $1.00 per movie.

44/ Coy, Okay we turned 300 million, but the census clock is an estimate. We probably had 300 million earlier or later.

84/ Management are changing its ways. This applies to some firms. They are using KARMA CAPITALISM. It is borrowed from the east using both Taoism and Hindu.

Its emphasis is concentration, consistency, cooperation. Its basis is GREED IS BAD,

BED FAIR, ACT RATHER THAN REACT, SEEK HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS.

134/ Welch, if you are having problems succeeding, call a successful company and see what they are doing.

NEWSWEEK (2006) 10/30

27/ Darman If Congressman Harold Ford wins the senate race, the Democratic Party will become the PURPLE PARTY. Ford is essentially a Republican on a lot of issues and that keeps him viable. In other words, each Democrat should run their own race. That makes the tent much bigger for conservative blue dog Democrats. If he loses, he will suffer from the BRADLEY EFFECT. White voters say they voted for a black man when they voted for a white person. Pelosi and Reid should become Purple. Why? Because there is 2 conservatives for every Progressive. The rest are moderates.

45/ Samuelson, we are moving to a new form of Capitalism. A few names have

been applied, but we are really at the beginning of a new century and a new capitalism, but we are really not sure what it is.

74/ Can Hillary win? If she can win all the states that Kerry won plus one state, she would have.  If she runs, the party should support her.

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT (2006) 10/30

39/ Schulte, Nuclear power has become fashionable again, but what do you do with the waste? No one wants this. What if the plants are attacked by terrorists?

56/ What do we think of the leadership in this country? Very little. Among institutions, military is on top and it is mediocre. The press is at the bottom. However, the highest is just in the middle. Most Americans agree or strongly agree that there is a leadership crisis in the United States. 70% believe that USA is less respected in the world today.

66/ The US News really like Warren Buffet, and so do I.

TIME (2006) 10/30

AMERICA BY THE NUMBERS 42-55/ Where do we live? We live on the coasts. There are 9 big inland cities. We are becoming more southern and western. Faces in the crowd. Women barely outnumber men. 80% are white. Most racial groups have about 2 children except Hispanics who have about 3 children. Less and less of us are getting bigger and bigger. Since 1940, we have grown a third. We have smaller families, later marriages or no marriages, and we have more educated people. We vote mainly red by geography, but tie when it comes to demography. 55% rarely vote. 35% vote most or all the time. US employees work 46 weeks, Germans work 40 weeks. A third of us believe in a wrathful god, 23 % believe in a benevolent god, 16% believe in a critical god and 24% in a distant god. The Midwest and the South are the most religious.

THE NEW REPUBLIC (2006)10/30

13/ The NIH’s job is to protect big pharma. They protect companies when they taint their data. The Shelby amendment is to really protect big pharma. Thus, prestigious journals may have to go to asking for all the data from a study or studies that did not have pharma money to support it.

30/ Postmodern can call that something is wrong. However, the standards are lower than modern or pre-modern.

THE ECONOMISTS (2006) 10/21

89/ Evidence suggest that making and recognizing expressions. Studies appear to support that blind children still recognize smiles and frowns and will say so when they get language.
