The system could be the salvation of mankind. It could be an infinite supply of almost free energy. If enough hydrogen is produced it can be burned to produce plenty enough electricity to produce the RF. All it would take is just a little surplus hydrogen energy and you could have extra electricity. The perpetual motion machine we all fantasize about. Wilbur Hubbard What simplistic bull****! Getting more energy out than goes in?? This sums up Wilma's level of understanding of the world. Don't bother to read any further. You never heard of nuclear fusion? That's more energy out than in. It's not so far-fetched to believe if it can be done at an atomic level then why not at a molecular level. Wilbur Hubbard- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Wilbur, Duncan lacks the ability to think out of the box. Exactly why the Brit's gave up the right to bear arms. Which do you think would be more important to mankind. Curing cancer or unlimited fuel? This guy could do both. Joe |

We never had the _right_ to bear arms like in the US constitution. After the security tightening all licensed holders of shotgun or other gun permits had to show real need to be allowed to keep them. Reputable gunshop businesses were forced to close and a couple of owners of them committed suicide as their livelihood was taken away without compensatioon. Many shotgun owners like myself voluntarily gave up our shotguns to the police for destruction because for the sake of the occasional vermin shoot we could not be arsed to cope with all the bureaucracy. But the criminals did not give up their guns and gun crime in UK has increased ever since. All this stems from a dreadful gun massacre in a school by a person against whom the police had been warned but had failed to act. They had the power but did not use it. Then the politicians got into the act because after such a tragedy politicians feel that they have to be seen to be doing something so they act to penalise the law abiding population and the criminals carry on and progress. Politicians are the same everywhere. Not my favourite kind of people. |

The British health system is flawed too but would you want to swap it for the US one? |

The British health system is flawed too but would you want to swap it for the US one? No, I would not prefer the US system. I would have preferred that the British police left people alone who were law-abiding citizens using guns for sport, and wish that when they were advised that one of these citizens is developing worrying behaviour patterns they had taken appropriate action which would have saved many children and one teacher's lives. As to the health service, no. I would not swap the British one for the US system but the British one is heavily flawed by excessive bureaucracy. They should let the medical staff ahve more power and should never have got rid of the famous post of Matron who had total control of nursing and what went on in the wards. Now even cleaning is contracted out and you stand a good chance of contracting MRSA bugs in the hospitals. My wife and I got fed up with the situation successive governments have brought to the UK. It is unrecognisable as the country I was brought up in and accordingly at a somewhat advanced age we emigrated four years ago to a country where everything still works like clockwork and the health service puts that of the UK to shame. Since we came here four years ago I have not once been back. |
