German tanks started out rubbish and only got better once they came up again the Russian KV and T34s. the French tanks were easily better in 1940 but the stupid french government pissed that advantage away.

Re: Geothermal energy?

The US idea of a national park was a generally useless but pretty and natural piece of property far away from the cities where one could meet with like minded people and not be disturbed by dreadful people of the middle class (let alone the working classes) that could be maintained at the nations expense

if a use could be found for it, I'm sure it could be deparkified in short order.

Re: Exploitation?

No you just choose to accept a stipend regularly instead of taking the risk of that surplus coming in later.

Re: @Trevor_Pott: What have you been smoking?

trev, you don't know what a monopoly is do you? its regulation in favour of a firm or a number of firms,

social democracy is merely 50%+1 might is right. how does social democracy restain monopoly ? it can't because it hates heresy or choices. How does it drive margins down? by limiting choice and veriation, if the customer is allowed it at all.

Globalization, zero regulation by the state are postive boon IMHO and the last is problem caused by the state's monopoly over money and the financiers utilizing that monopoly to their own advantage.

Re: Independant Scotland outside the EU... ha ha ha

Why is Spain held to be indivisible? Just because two nobs merged their family 'firms' centuries ago. doesn't mean the descendants of the subjects of the king and queen of Castile and Aragon must be held by that.

and as for Border stuff, just don't bother, let people come and go as they like the way they do now.

Re: No wonder

You might be the person to ask. I once read that English would be 'better' if written in Cyrillic rather in Latin.
