  1. Research is being carried out on a number of alternatives to oil, electricity and hydrogen. In latter case I agree it has many drawbacks.
  2. Absolutely right re RTP activity in Thailand. My point was about a broader issue.
  3. Ridiculous waste of time. The so-called war on drugs, over many years in many countries, has achieved nothing.
  4. Britain has been blessed with significant reserves of oil, coal and gas. Successive British governments have denied, and continue to deny, the British public the benefits that should have accrued.
  5. Sooner or later you too will be old but, hopefully, not grumpy.
  6. EVs, and oil driven cars, will soon be superseded by vehicles using other fuels including ethanol, hydrogen and, quite possibly, water. The amount of money currently being invested in battery driven cars is short-sighted, to put it mildly.
  7. The topic is Greenland, not America.
  8. No idea what you are talking about.
  9. Not nonsense. Common sense, no matter who said it.
  10. Good point. Better late than never for a thorough review of hiring policy. Surely the fundamental criteria for selecting somebody for work as important as flight traffic control must be to appoint the person best qualified to do the job.
  11. There is Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and more. They all require varying degrees of modesty, self-denial, and clean living. Then there is Thai Buddhism......
  12. The one problem I have with the death penalty is that, on occasions, the not guilty are executed. In the USA there were over 20 such cases in the last century. Imagine what it must feel like walking to your execution knowing you are innocent.
  13. The nomination cited Musk for being an advocate of free speech, not peace-making.
  14. Hardly self governing. For example, and critically, the judiciary is controlled by the Danes which has lead to resentment by many Greenlanders. Further, an offer of 1 million dollars to each adult Greenlander would be gratefully received by most.
  15. Money will talk in resolving this issue. Many of the 50k plus population of Greenland are not exactly in love with the Danes.
  16. Two points. First, unlike many of his predecessors, Trump appears to be trying to implement the policies for which he was elected. Second, also unlike many predecessors. he has the attention of leaders world-wide.
