For the record - I don't necessarily agree or disagree with Buffet on this one, I just posted the article because I know a lot of people are interested in what Buffet has to say. But I will ask you - why on Earth does a GS forecast hold more weight with you than a Buffet forecast?

I just hope my friends to the south don't get hit too hard with the proposed bank tax. Clearly this tax will be passed on to regular folk ---- another means for government to get their grubby hands on your hard-earned cash.

The 9/11 conspiracy nuts are a waste of breath. They are so convinced the government engineered the whole thing they won't even listen to reason. Sickening really.

Maybe so, but perhaps there will be new ideas in the book different from what you already know about M Theory. I am just saying, before we comment definitively on Hawking's conclusions, I think we should understand what those conclusions are as opposed to speculating based on some things read...

There are plenty of roads that need repaving... No need to dig up perfectly good roads... I know the American government is highly incompetent, but even they should be able to get this right...

I have no case to prove. I haven't really read much of anything regarding the economic impact the Vancouver Olympics had on the local economy or British Columbia taxpayers. All I know is that the OP and the article he references is claiming the olympics in Vancouver was a disaster because...

You are taking the fact that Hawking stated the universe APPEARS to be designed way too far. You are only comprehending what you want to comprehend... The real statement goes like this "The universe appears to be designed, BUT........." Hawking does not argue that the universe is designed...
