      Alternative Energy: More Attractive, But No Quick Fix
      Piggybank:
      Americans like all other people around the world are selfish and shortsighted. Our leaders revolve from stupid to brilliant. Our political system divides governmental powers among three branches: excutive, legislative, and judicial, and reserves all powers not given to the federal government to the states. The result is big changes are hard to do, particularly when the president is shortsighted like Bush. However, often one or more states will initiate needed changes even the the executive branch does nothing. This has occurred. As an example, California is subsidizing alternative energy and stem cell research. I am confident that the next president will follow California's lead. Another aspect of America is private initiative. Look at the work of the Gates Foundation. My Europeans relatives like to criticize the US. They fail to recognize that we are 4% of the world's population and have limited resources. Also, we came to their aid twice in the 20th Century; Europe would be very different without US help in ridding it of its dictators. With the forthcoming political changes, we will remove our army from Iraq and participate in the change to alternative energy sources, the reduction of green houses gases, and the increase in global food production.

      Options Trader: Thursday Outlook
      My Irish grandparents had 12 children. My father had 3. I have 4. The change in our respective family size is I believe attributable to the expectations of the mothers of the family. My grandmother was a full time wife and mother, and was expected to produce children. My mother was a successful professional, as has been both of my wifes. Another aspect is to the value of children to the parents. In rural societies, children contribute to net revenues; in urban societies, they contribute to net expenses of their families.
