- Today's perception of democracy:
 understanding
the economics of whims from the economics of needs
- Tuesday
October 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: At the heart of this complex story Mr. deSantis is concerned at the awarding of
the Nobel prize for economics to two rather mundaine professors, one in California
and the other in Arizona. The issue of what is better for the world is really what
this is about and with many outstanding references you have the opportunity in this
story to find out some truths for yourself.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Though I fly no more that awareness of
being aloft remains with me and helps me see my environment in a different way than
my earthbound fellows. Your experiences provide you with your unique view and perception
of what you experience. Thus each of us must learn to understand, appreciate and
respect the views of our peers. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
Flat-screen TV emits international distress signal (pdf) CNN first told  this REUTERs
story about an Oregon student who's television issued an international call for help.
Jennifer Nitson of the Corvallis Gazette-Times(pdf) gives
much more detail about Ryan Gardner's broadcasting TV. |

 Kerry’s vision of ‘change
