I think that is the key to any religion, superstition, belief system or lack thereof, it depends where you are in terms of acceptance of death and questions of life.

I hope I find an answer, whether it is through a Creator or through science. I want to live.

i seriously ask this question in light of some ridiculous experiences i have had in recent times.

a while back,a freind of mine purchased a new home.

a housewarming party was planned for her.

The only reason an individual could maintain responsibilities and persist in "rebellious behavior" like beating up elders is by leading a double life.

First, you exercise your secret desires, despite administrative restraint because of your instinct for freedom of expression. Next, you satisfy your insecurities and need for acceptance by providing obedience and conformity to the organization, and then justify the subconscious struggle in your psyche by posting "a la braggadocio" in this forum.

You are now an authority! Rule with supremacy inside the kingdom of your mind and man the gates before wisdom and truth and freedom mount their attack and lay siege to your fortress of platitude!

no matter how you think you are ready for such an eventuality, it still remains stressful when it finally does happen.. until last friday, i worked as a systems engineer for a large canadian telecom equipment manufacturer that has been laying off thousands of employees.

their target was 30,000 and they are almost there.

i dont know, but maybe my number was 25,879...or something.. anyone out there works or used to work for this company?

Greetings:

As far as employment is concerned, I am a manager in a government technology department. I posted this information last month.

Onto specualations, you are forgetting the most important impetus to third world development: the need/greed factor. Plainly stated, the rest of the world does resent western society, especially the US.

This resentment translates politically into the establishment of needs and greeds for ambitious statesmen, ministers, officials, rulers, leaders, etc..

Eventually, modern revolutions will occur with the minimal of violent force and progress economically and technologically to culmination.
Keep your eyes on the Korean Situation, the situation in Taiwan.

Also, I do not know if you are able to travel overseas on a regular basis. But, if possible visit southern europe, and watch the buildup of new communications infrastructure, you will realize the explosion has merely shifted locations.

For example, in MILAN and ROMA this past year, the Italian Government finally did something smart by upgrading directly to FDDI (fiber optics) rather than continuing to upgrade the existing POTS (plain old telephone service) copper based cables. The race for hi speed access has taken root. HFC (hybrid fiber coax) also known as cable modem service is already spreading into the country side.

The growth in Germany, Ireland, England and most of northern europe dwarfs what is going on in Italy. We are actually moving closer to 1984 than you think.

You Know:

I think you had better slow your momentum in this discussion. I have been warning friends in and outside of the hall about the technology stocks that would eventually blow up like balloons and then pop for the last 4 years!

As a matter of fact, a newbie CO appointed in Georgia who came from my hall frequently availed himself of my technical and financial services, as is common in the borg.

Now, before I engage you in this discussion, I want you to understand that my approach is based on my education (B.S. Business Management - Pomona College-CA, M.S. Computer Information Systems - Roger Williams University) and my 11 years in technology management, 7 years of finance and 3 years in government service.

Here goes;

While it may appear "prophetically convenient" to capitalize upon the hi-tech stock failures as part of a composite sign of the end, it is not a valid application.

Firstly, westernized nations are peaking technically and financially now and are economically over inflated, however, what many fail to realize is that the under developed nations and third world nations have yet to build, expand, and upgrade their economic, technical and communications infrastructures.

For example, although the US holds roughly a population between 250 - 300 million people (legally documented), the potential for computer hardware and software manufacturers make sales has already peaked in this country. Innovations and improvements continue on a steady stream, therefore it is IMPROBABLE that all US inhabitants will access technology thru a personal computer. Some will use micro devices and PDA's etc..

This means OEM's (original equipment manufacturers) will need to sell their wares overseas. Now, examine the chinese population. What is the potential for computer sales there? How about India, the third world nations in Africa and Asia?

So, in conlcusion, the economic "turnaround" is indeed ahead. The adjustments in manufacturing, market structure, market values, world trade policies, world banking and currency fluctuations, are ALL PART OF THE GLOBAL GROWING PAINS IN MOVING FROM A PAPER AND CURRENCY BASED WORLD SYSTEM.

There are millions of humans without any technology or ability to access public information. That alone is a giant behemoth of opportunity.

the 50th psalm is one of jehovah's as-of-yet-unrevealed judicial decisions that will become operative upon his people during the tribulation.

the following is a brief overview of the chapter.. "the divine one, god, jehovah, has himself spoken,.

and he proceeds to call the earth.
