Studies show that women experience a physiological change when the are communicating verbally. Men on the other hand communicate more in their head and use words only when sharing information. Traditionally women are great communicators and do it with more complexity and depth then their male counterparts. This tendency is not fixed. Men are adapting to the changes in communications patterns.

It is divesting. However without morality it will continue to drive down humanity. Wealth without morality leads to suffering.

No! Given the current administrations belief that competition drives prices down, competition should also allow companies to dry up. Truth is the mortgage business is oversaturated, unregulated and unfruitful. I personally would like to see at 70% - 80% reduction of mortgage lenders and personal accountability extended to the mortgage brokers themselves to the extent that they should take out insurance for the loans the sign.

Yes. Bud is an American icon. I personally would not continue to purchase it.

Yes, but because more people are waking up to the fact that TV is for the most part a waste of time. America is becoming a fat and debt ridden nation and many are getting fed up with it. Cable TV will take a rapid decline.

China knows that American's have a unbridled appetite. There has been a trade deficit with China my entire life and everyone knows it yet we aren't about to do anything about it. China's econmonic growth will make the US into borrowers and we will effectively become endebted to them. At this point unless some natural disaster occurs on the Chinese homeland we will end up at war with China in the next 20 years.

What the federal government should do is create guidelines for city planning. Most people I talk to would stop driving all together if they could, but many cities intentionally build without considering public transportation because there is a belief that some hold that public transportation deflates property values. A alternative would be to use a staggered commute system where individuals telecommute during peak times and commute during non peak times to reduce the amount of congestion on our roadways.

The current plan will only inflate a balloon with a huge leak in it. America needs a new paradigm which confronts the effects of greed. Until we begin to elevate the severity of consequence and prosecute those who defraud the American people we will always cheat the system.

I understand your concerns, however I'd like to take a positive spin on the studies that have been conducted. Here's my take on it. What these studies suggest is that the reward mechanism can be rewired in the minds of students. Here's a web experiment: Ask any 5 students why they go to school. Many of the ones I asked indicate that they go to school to appease thier parents. We as a society must make it our #1 priority to shape the perception of education in the mind of our young.
