This poll needs an all-of-the-above choice.
There will be no peace and prosperity in a world of 9 billion people in a few decades-mostly conflict and misery. Scientists, engineers, political and religious leaders...they do not have anywhere near enough answers for the problems this world faces.
So I guess we…

Acts of violence are becoming more and more prevalent in Japan.
I guess the ubiquitous massage and "aesthe" of all types in and around all stations are just not doing enough to lower the cumulative stress levels in Japan.
Mr. Scott: I am sorry about what happened to you, but…

How could someone not notice 7kg of extra weight on an empty suitcase?
