It all is a case of sacrificing the many for the few? Or a case of sacrificing the poor for the rich? or the disenfranchised for the powers that be?

I personally vote for all 3!

One can never build a system where the care of the few is built on the backs of the many, for to do that is to be assured that as the backs of those under stress and weight breaks, it will also bring all the structure which is built on it tumbling down.

This is not a unique problem to Thailand but rather a mental construct that most people in the world have............. Get mine at the expense of the other! It manifests in different ways depending on the culture of each place.

I FLEW OUT YESTERDAY AND THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF WATER ANYWHERE

I went to downtown yesterday by CAT building to buy jewelry hoping that it was not flooded and all the streets were fine AND all the shops closed and sandbagged, took several films and they are posted at frodo1111 in fb if you want to see them

When the USA and Mexico made the border a cheaper alternative to doing factories in the USA, All the companies built along here and then when it was producing results for and making hte economy better for the Mexicans it was cheaper to build new factories in other Asian countries and forget the huge monetary investments in mexico that to pay higher wages....so as it gets more expensive here it will also be the case here and in other countries until ALL of us decide that to take advantage of one over the other to make US better off is no longer a viable option.

This is what he wall street protests all over the world are really about I feel in my humble opinion.

As far as the 125 book, it can be downloaded, you just have to be willing to upload something to the site as well and then you have 24 hours to get it for free...or you can pay if you want. I uploaded a free ebook I had and was able to get it right away! :-)

Is there any link to actually watch video of the flood areas in Bankok proper anywhere

Hey guys, Hi to all seems a great place and I'm hoping you all can help me out! Just got to Thailand, and bought a small bike (Kawi Boss) and trying to set up my GPS to it but having a hell of a time finding the receptacle to put on the battery I've stopped at a dozen bike shops but no luck even thought I had a photo of what I am looking for.

Any ideas as to where to buy the part here in Thailand?

Any help is greatly appreciated it!

I don't know the language AT ALL and I cringe thinking what will happen when the battery in the GPS goes dead before I get home!

Thanks again
