An Inconvenient Truth

Hi,

The 1% figure is probably not doable in 100 years since it would require a rate of about -4.5%. However, that is probably close to the max, and a reduction to between 1 and 10% of the present population *is* reasonable, and to the advantage of all but the religious and political demagogues.

The sales job is the key. Who should we assign that one to?

Choices abound:

1. How about the guys who convinced some millions of people that "terrorists" would happily go to Iraq and fight America's (very lethal) military rather than wander over our (unsecure) border and wreak havoc on an unmilitarized, albeit somewhat armed, civilian population? Those who mean America harm aren't idiots.

2. The guy who convinced anyone that Paris Hilton should make a music video. That's akin to hiring me as starting center for the Dallas Mavericks. :whistling:

3. The sales team that convinced Sony to pay them money for the marketing, to date, of the PS3. :lol:
