May 31 2012: A simple thing to do is give back to teachers the power they had 30 plus years ago, the cane and other punishment of the time is the answer ! Anyone who has ever had the cane in school will agree with me. Step out of line and INSTANT ! punishment. The only difference I would ask from the past is that it must be witnessed by another teacher on roster. The mamby pamby talk to kids think is a failure.
We are seriously starting to pay for the failed social experiment.
May 31 2012: Get solar panels and a rain water tank, thats a dam good start. By an old car thats reliable and efficent, eg Toyota Corolla and have it tuned properly. (it saves by not being replaced with a new one) Buy a small cc motorcycle for picking up bread etc. Renovate good furniture.
Buy better stuff that lasts rather than cheap stuff that fails early. eg I bought my stereo 30 years ago before CD's, Its still better than most of the newer stuff you buy today (by sound quality).

Join the dots, here is the future !

Imagine the whole interiour of the spacecraft is actualy a huge touch screen display, its the instuments, its a back projected image of space (appears clear) its face to face communication and craft control from anywhere within the craft.
Image a craft completly seamless, no joins or nuts and bolts or any other fasteners.
Skins with multiple functions
eg:- outer layer solar collectors, 2nd layer batteries, 3rd layer electronics, 4 layer LCD.
This is a suggestion for 4 layers, the number of layers and configerations is endless but it can be task specific.

A comment on Conversation: I would like to hear people's perspectives about an inherent lack of respect in our culture, and how we can teach transcendence of such?

A comment on Conversation: Do you have a small idea to make this world Green? Mention if you already use it.
