  Finally!

  Someone is actually applying common sense to our dealings with the Middle East. I dare not let myself feel too encouraged.

  Mobility

  response to  ralphred's post Can't wait to be doored by one of these!

  Jet packs are available right now

  Didn't you see that recent story about three different companies making jet packs that are already on sale? Jet Pack international has one that flies for 33 seconds and Thunderbolt Aerosystems has one that flies for 75 seconds. They both think that within a year they will have developed models that can stay aloft for more than 15 minutes! Right now they all cost over $100,000, but with mass production I'm sure that cost will plummet. See the July issue of Popular Mechanics and the C/Net news release on January 29, 2008.

  Find a way to make it exercise?

  How about riding a bike? You'll look less ridiculous and you'll actually burn some calories.

  Fantastic idea

  This is one of the best ideas I've heard in a long, long time. I hope whoever takes office (Yes I prefer Hillary, but I'm not here to debate that) will implement them.

  However, I believe there will still be some on the far left who believe attaching it to military service is discriminatory. I don't think it is.

  Let's do it!
