Thanks I am lucky to have found you

Yep, it sounds familiar. After reading a more in depth article, I was actually suprised that it was only a couple hundred after hearing there were approximately 100,000 protesters...I think if it happened here it probably would have been worse, heh. I think Joss was on to something with the Pax except its "a tenth of a percent of the population will always go nuts in too close of a proximity of the rest of the population" No designer drugs needed, they just bring themselves...

Is any of the rioting or the economy affecting you personally or your family or friends?? Do you know people who have left because of it? They sure do seem to make a big deal outta your country here in the news...

Well for the time being thing for my close friends and family are ok. If I loose my job then I will start looking in other countries also. A lot of people have left cause unemployment here is very high. Also the thing you said that they show a lot of attention for my country. This is a little bit strange. A country of 10 million is the focus for the entire world. I think they use us for a kind of economical experiment. We will see.

Now something else caught my attention, NASA is cutting the expeditions to Mars but the Chinese are spending billion for their space program. Again is this familiar with something?

Well, at least they are blowing through their money the way we blew through ours, and soon we will all be in the same boat

A leaking one!

They also have to make a multibillion war in a distant country. Then they can burn their cash fast.

I was listening to BBC reports the other night, thinking that of course we pay attention to what happens in Greece. Not only is the current situation possibly the key to what will happen in the EuroZone (with very serious global implications) in the future, but we in the West look to Greece as the place where our entire civilization was founded.
I envisioned a circle, then the snake eating its own tail.
No wonder I've become an insomniac. Late-night philosophy is the pits.

please stay safe

Nail on the head, as usual, Bun... But don't let it get your sleep...
We'll need that energy for when the zombies come

Off topic, but a study said recently a lot of nightmares are caused by temperature (which floods you with hormones) and you get too warm when you sleep and that is the fastest way for your body to get you awake. I know it's true for me...I get constant nightmares in the winter, but can never actually get to sleep in the summer. Like, for a week at a time

Have the Chinese put a man in orbit and brought him back to Earth in 1 piece yet ? Have they even tried ?

Until they do that, they're still 50 years behind the Russians and Americans.

Orbited, landed safely, even spacewalked. Planning Moon mission.
Their space program was previously held back by - - you guessed it - - politics. Sound familiar?

Stupid real life stuff. I should have known that.
