That is technology - hoping to see the day where we are online all day long. 

Why are they spending so much time and energy hawking this stuff through multi-level marketing and Internet commercials when they could simply make billions by licensing the technology to the auto manufacturers?

I hand wright all my envelopes.Actually my wife hand write them because I have doctor's handwriting.My results have been phenomenal.I believe in the techno world many sellers especially ones who do not use technology find old forms of communicating refreshing and respond well to them.Junk mail used to be in the mail box and now it is on the internet instead.I have had people tell me they look more forward to getting mail now.

Aside from a very few open source technologies that we're currently using, BP is 100% proprietary.

I am looking to start rehabbing and flipping, and I suppose I am the classic case: Very little money, poor credit, but a will to make this work.I am currently an applications engineer in a technology field, but I am hoping to build my experience and business to allow me to quit my job and invest full time.I suppose right now I am looking for a mentor...

Technology.

The technology behind these was recently demo'd as part of an automobile exhaust system (to eliminate the muffler and thus reduce pressure leading to better engine performance).How about using soundproofing within your house?

I can see them acquiring FSBO or technology to build something similar.

Postal Service, which is a quasi-private company with a government charter -- for most of its history, it's been required to run without subsidy from the government, and if you ignore the effects that recent technology has had on the USPS, it's been quite successful (unfortunately, they're not doing a very good job of adapting the new world order).If other government programs were run as well as the USPS has historically been run, we'd be able to accomplish a whole lot more with the tax revenue we're already generating in this country.Anyway, the simple point is, instead of just thinking about out to generate more or spend less, politicians should be thinking about how to overhaul existing programs to allow them to accomplish as much with less (or more with the same).
