I guess Bill Becker has written the proverbial "Einstein letter" for this current crisis.  

Now if the next prez will only read it and take it to heart, like FDR did with Einstein's letter warning of the possibility of the A-bomb in 1933.

The Manhattan Project was iniiated and we see the mixed results.

I think the mix of soultions Bill has chosen will yield much better results, along the lines predicted.

Maybe Al Gore could present it too Hillary and Barack and extract a pledge?  It might just help defeat the pack of coal, oil, nuclear, agribizz, and gas lobbyists.

A story of unvalentine destruction on the 15th.  Any solution for this depressing commercial cultural phenomenon?

This whole unvalentine trend is growing.  Overthrow Cupid, this evil cherub has caused far too much suffering ...with the help of romantic expectations.

I propose a whole new kind of serial monogamy.  Seasonal serial monogamy.  One season, fall, spring..what have you, then skip three seasons to date others.  Then try another season with the same person.

If children result, no problem, keep up the same schedule.  unlike marriage, this might last for a few years.
