That is all well and good for those who have or get jobs, but the original problem was eliminating poverty. I don't see how the above solves the...
Solving poverty? How does that work, pray tell? Is there some magical way to turn the uneducated and unskilled away from poverty?
Now, THAT's a tricky response, there, Albert. Are you agreeing with me on the others' posts or are you insinuating I have no coherent ideas? :)...
Took the thread over by forfeit, not any semblance of a coherent idea.

I really don't see that happening. The military, really? It's a political issue, and with parts of both Europe and South America altering the...
This article covers some very interesting developments, in South America. It seems that both the cartel violence and the missed revenue, as well...
