______(2006) THE ECONOMIST/ 8/19

45-46/ Anti-Jew feelings are surfacing in some areas of Europe and not in other areas. America shows the most approval. Right wing parties overseas feel guilt for what they did to Jews in the past and now are pro-Israeli.

There is very little support for Olmert anymore. He hyped the war and the social psychological aspects of war (psywar) was disastrous. The opposition won by not losing. Israel should go back to the beginning and promote itself as a parliamentary democracy among authoritarian states. That Muslims in Israel have more rights than in most countries.

Additionally, it is now really a tiny country  with 7 million most of which (88%) are Jews. Further, there are now no horizons of oblivious hope for lasting peace. This little country will always be at war at some level.

It can continue to make overtures to Egypt and Saudi Arabia as they are tired or appear to be tired of  continuous on going war. They can distance themselves from the Iraq war. They may also want to make highly visible contributions to Palestine that can not directly bring harm to Israel. They should receive state of the art weaponry (some 2 1/2 billion from the States) and use the weapons sparingly.

Jews must become the force for moderation and a pitch to the left that they are a democratic socialist country. To the right, they are a market economy and a western nation located in the middle east.

Last, if Jews don't survive here, it could spell the end of a very old and honored religion without a home. The next diaspora if it comes, could definitely reconfigure the middle east with Shia versus Sunni.

If Jews can promote the little country that could, it can with the hearts and minds of the west and a few moderates in the middle east.

52/ Big pharma is now fighting generics and they are doing so well.

57/ Amazon is losing business. It is time to innovate again.

59/ In the past 5 years, those with 1 million or more increased 20% as the rest of population stagnated. It is good for the rich and their banks.

64/ Some economists think that America needs a good old fashion recession to get its house in order. USA has high debt and lots of slippery options all over the world. Rather than a ton of countries owning the States, a recession would bring Yanks back to its senses.

65/ There is now medicine and money to fight AIDS.Many males refuse to use condoms, but females are now getting liquefied condoms to fight unintended pregnancy and death from AIDS.

66/ We need more research on those who get AIDS or should get AIDS and  they don't. What is going on here?

71/ SPECIAL TOPICS IN CALIMITY PHYSICS (Marishi Pessi) A young lady named Blue travels with father from state to state, because he can't hold a job or interest any women with his lousy social skills. Blue finally finds a popular teacher who takes her under his wing as she becomes part of the in crowd. In takes time, but soon she is sliding her hands over males, drinking until dawn, and is no longer clueless in Carolina, her final state of rest. The chapters read like a syllabus and it is a good read generating buzz.

_______(2006) TIME/ 8/28

25/ Joe Klein likes New England moderate Republicans and Chaffee has a chance in the Republican primary against a scrappy energetic ultra-conservative.

26/ Hillary is running for president or is she? TIME would prefer that she conquer the senate

than the white house. The first women president needs to be a Maggie Thatcher type from the

Republican party.

45/ You want to test your DNA/ Get more than one opinion. The guest writer got two DNA reports from two different companies. One said she was predominantly African and the other that she was mostly European.

46/ There is new technology to spot LIARS. There is the polygraph that is accurate if the person is not nervous. The others are fMRI'S, EEG'S  EYESCANS, &MICROEXPRESSIONS.

55-58/ Why don't we prepare for major emergencies like hurricanes and tornadoes? Because it won't happen to us.
