Re: God, I would HATE to have his parents...

And I prefer listening to the original drummers over anyone playing a cover most of the time--especially when the original drummer is someone like Neil Peart or Keith Moon or Mike Portnoy. (I was going to say that I prefer _watching_ Meytal Cohen, but I find the way that she smiles at the camera to ...

This kid, on the other hand, sure seems to enjoy it! I can only hope to be half the drummer he already is at 5 years old.

Re: On the roads in Libertarian Land

I'd expect a smaller percentage of India's population to be driving, though--and perhaps driving shorter distances. Anyone know the fatality rate per mile driven (or similar statistic) in each country?

Poorer people have exactly the same choices when it comes to any surplus money they have. They can invest, save, or spend too--in much smaller amounts, obviously, but dollar for dollar is the impact on the beneficiaries of those actions any different?
