#4 I got Lance in My Pants.
On another note, Mike Rowe, of Dirty Jobs, did a special last Sunday on wht people are doing to go Green. He did quite a few cuts of ordinary people who have carved a niche for themselves and their workers doing Dirty Jobs that recycle and reclaim things. At the end he said these people do more for the Environment than ant high-paid consultant, Hollywood Star, or Green Activist. This is the road the Government should be taking. Encourage Small Business generation. Reward inovative ideas. I know that's not gonna happen but I can dream.

#5 Notice How Bankruptcy doesn't actually destroy ANYTHING physical?

The west needs a wave of bankruptcy to remove mal-investments. The government could do a great deal to help AFTER bankruptcy, but before bankruptcy it does a great deal of harm to the wider economy.
