You wish....

If you would sing a song for us...and send it to me.... Then... I would be happy to post your song on TV. Would you be willing?

Why not just listen to the music I linked...because...it might just help to.... Calm your troubled mind, a bit.... There are some very beautiful Irish themes in this music, I must say. Good for the spirit, for sure. Enjoy, Sir.....!

Dear Folks, Rolling on to the bitter end…and all that…. You should know how it feels, NOW, my friend….. And, other than the lyrics, which are great….. Is it the heavy BASS of this music that old men prefer, now that they have already destroyed their high-frequency hearing, by now?...and…. …Can probably hear almost nothing else than low-bass frequencies….? Yes, we are getting very old, by now. And, is this why we like Bad Company? Or, have we now become, secretly, just dirty old men, in the eyes of others who are so much younger, every time we sit at a bar in Pattaya? There are just so many possibilities. Personally, I never liked Bad Company that much, when I was far younger, in 1974. Now, though, I think this music is growing on me. IF I only had a love that was so true…that….I would not need to… just….MAKE DO…..here in Thailand….haha…yes! Maybe this music was made for us old men living in Thailand? BAD COMPANY….. Music before its time??? What say you? I am really getting into this: Best regards, Gamma Note:.....

Dear Folks, My question is: Are today’s doctors, the ones without PhD-degrees, basically…. Scientists? Idiots? Artists? Or, then….what? Can you guess what I mean by this question? And, if you can, then do you believe that, with the coming New Age of AI, we will stamp out the doctor of today…who is an idiot and an artist? And, will we FINALLY have healthcare practitioners who are not both idiots and artists? I do not know about you, but I would far prefer to entrust my own healthcare to an AI of the near future, rather than to any Artist-Idiot MD, of today. Doctors of today are either IDIOTS or SCAMMERS for relying on Big Pharma to tell them how to practice medicine, more often than they should,…and…..THIS….is all that I am implying. I am not implying that most doctors are true idiots, since we know that they must know a BIT about medicine….RIGHT? BUT BUT What might a doctor-office visit be like when, once the patient enters the Doctor’s Office Arena, then most decisions concerning diagnostics were based on the most modern protocols? These days, though, one can go to a dozen different hacks, and get a dozen different answers to the solution of one’s physical or mental complaints. These days of so much UNSCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY are defo COMING TO AN END, my friends. And, I say: Hallelujah….! The dark days of quackery are just about….AT AN END…if only…. We can get AI set up right. A new dawn of Science-Based medicine is upon us…IF…only… We can get it right. Very soon, we will achieve Consistent, Science-based, and much cheaper medicine for the masses. And, we will also see much improved medicine for the rich, too….but…(who cares about the stinking rich, right? I, for one, do not!!!!) Just wait another year or two, and we will see this happen. Soon, we will have more egalitarian healthcare for both the rich and poor, and it will all be based on science, and it will be a blessing to all mankind. Even, the likes of Tiny Tim, of Dickens fame, will benefit, no matter where he might live in the world of today. Best regards, Gamma Note: Yes, I have HIGH HOPES for AI, in just so many ways.

Men using "ka".... Yes. What of it?

This is not the point I was making. We need newer vaccines which are more effective using more modern science understanding. As far as I know, drug companies would prefer to spend their billions, mostly, on MARKETING, rather than basic research which will not pay off for many years, if at all.

There are effective vaccines for measles and other diseases. Measles, Mumps, and Rubella comes in one vaccine, these days, as I recall. Therefore, one should avail oneself of the use of these, for better health and a longer lifespan.

Implant. Definitely. But, this might also depend upon one's age and predicted life expectancy. Once one becomes just TOO OLD IN THE TOOTH, then it might be better to avoid the pain of dental procedures and just live with it, for as long as one can.

The problem is that DRUG COMPANIES do not make money on vaccines, in comparison to selling other products. Vaccines require much more funding from governments, and the cost-to-citizens for vaccines should be ZERO.

I would also like to mention one important THING: If we are to reduce the impact of earthquakes, and other natural disasters, then we must be prepared to: Reduce and narrow the widening divide between the HAVES and the HAVE-NOTs. We can greatly decrease the misery and mortality caused by natural disasters if we are willing to stamp out poverty in the world. Why is there such a great divide between the wealth of countries such as Japan, and the poverty of places like Burma? In addition: We must recognize that DEMOCRACY will be crucial in our crusade to fight poverty and inequality, around the world. All people around the world LOVE Democracy. Anything less than a democratic government is unacceptable to the vast majority of humanity. Anyone who cares about the well-being of our brothers around the world should advocate and fight for democracy, and be willing to fight for those who suffer under governments which are not democratic. We all know what happens when communism, which is a good thing, slips into authoritarianism.... How do we know this? Who here has not read and enjoyed ANIMAL FARM.....!!!! Finally, the Wealthy Countries MUST bear some of the responsibility for helping poorer nations to accumulate enough wealth to protect their citizens from the avoidable calamities caused by poverty. This is the only way, unless, we wish to continue living in such an unstable and MAD World.....

We need to vaccinate the entire globe, those who have not yet been vaccinated, against polio. Polio is a terrible disease. I thought Gates had almost accomplished the eradication of polio, with the gov's help. Of course, war zones make this very difficult, as does ignorance. NOTE: Should we add another H to Diphtheria? Or, not.....

As I noted above: We are living in a MAD and illogical world. We all must come to terms with our world, in our own way. Shaking our fists at the world is not a solution.

Happiness comes from within. Also, happiness is never achieved through the pursuit of happiness. These are my best words of wisdom on this Topic.

You know, Guys.... Every time I see a natural disaster and utter devastation such as that wrought by a mere earthquake or a giant cyclone, such as NARGIS which took the lives of over... 130,000 souls.... I think to myself: Why are we not doing more to rid our world of NUKES, the thousands of NUKES, now standing ready to.... BLOW US ALL TO KINGDOM COME... And, nuclear war will be far worse than anything Mankind has yet experienced. At the close of Bridge Over the River Kwai.... One of the characters states: And yet, even now, amidst the rubble, in Burma.... Air Strikes are still proceeding, as usual. Truly we live in a very MAD WORLD....

Yes. Definitely.

Erratic is not the word that I would have chosen.

I must agree. Also, this word pathetic is now being misused on the forum, by an increasing number of posters. I never post pathetic posts, nor "erratic" posts. What might be more interesting is a discussion of the percentage of buildings which have been damaged in Burma, the time to recover, and the possibility of enforcing newer and better building codes when rebuilding eventually happens, as it will.

No. I think it impossible for anyone to enjoy what you mentioned. Why? Do you think it possible? Very odd question, by the way.

This is my main reason for living in Thailand, in fact. This just about halves my total living cost.

You know, I really hate being a stickler for detail, however we do not want to confuse readers here. In fact, in Tokyo, the intensity did not reach 6.6. And, in fact, was MUCH LESS than 6.6. There is really no room to quibble here, since the data has been published and checked...in many sources. I would like to direct you to the Wikipedia page which is quite extensive on this subject, and there are other reliable sources, as well.

If you graduated from Boulder, or live in Colorado: I would try to find some place high up. The mountains here are more beautiful than those in Colorado, and far less snow. Also, the mountain here are covered with tea, at least the ones in Chiang Rai. Therefore, if you are used to heights, and enjoy tea drinking, and love beautiful mountains, then this is a no-brainer. CHIANG RAI in the Chiang Mai Province, is the only place for you. In fact, I think that Chiang Rai is so good that I would really like to move there. (Or, what I might like to do is keep my house in Chiang Mai, and then have some sort of quiet place in Chiang Rai where I could escape to, when needed.) I might even try to find someone with a big house that has an outbuilding that I could rent for a pittance, in Chiang Rai. Some place small would do... But, when I say an outbuilding, I do NOT mean an outhouse. I think the terms are confused in American English and UK English. In conclusion: Chiang Rai might be best for you.

Already BLASTING....the same night as the quake. The music festivals in the area were still banging on drums, to beat the band. One thing will ALWAYS go on, around here: Banging on Drums, every day, and all night long.

Egg Tsar? Yes. But, only on Easter. A MarchHare becomes Tsar for a day.
