nerdgirl 0 #2 September 21, 2007 Thanks. In my insular American life, I'd never heard of him. That guy – John Safran – is brilliant, in an intellectually smart-ass, acerbic way. He makes Bill O’Reilly and Jon Stewart look like Ned Flanders-wanna-be’s. This guy seems to take on everyone: ridiculous fatwas, Mormons, Catholic Church, Scientology, KKK, Freemasons, Hindus, God, and Guns. In short, he may be a viable nominee for prophet of DZ.com Speakers Corner Marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

Poor kids from tiny villages in Niger can point out where the USA is. They can also speak two, often three languages (tribal, french, english.) They're pretty smart.

Para_Frog 1 #9 September 21, 2007 Blah blah blah.... When I watched that inane video - at the end - one of the next selections that pops up was BASE Impressions by Edgar Kraus (BFL #106).

kelpdiver 2 #13 September 22, 2007 Quote>That must explain why the quality of life is so high in that country. They were some of the happiest people I've ever met. Quality of life is not measured in income. once basic needs are met, happiness seems somewhat unrelated to income. (caused by richer people spending more, trying to keep up with the even richer). Though nothing says you have to let wealth be a drag. I get to play on weekends. Not everyone can. Of course I'd be happier if I could work just 2 or 3 days a week, but that's asking a lot.
