When the government finds out how to tax the sun, you'll have an electric car with solar rechargable batteries. Mankinds problems are not technological but are social, economic and political. Consider the problems of marketing A technological advanced piano with the bias generated by a predisposed public that is convinced that A Steinway is worth three times what an equalivalent no name brand will sell for and you will understand the problem. The world is okay, It's the people that are no dam good. Live with it! Carl Meyer >> I basically agree with you. Regarding the electric car, it is not necessarily the government taxing the sun, as it is the car company's investments in the oil companies. Now that Detroit has flooded the market with gas guzzling SUV's, and basically done away with the gas saving economy cars, it is time to get the public interested in buying small "fuel efficient" cars again. In other words, a whole new line of automobiles consumers just have to have. Regarding Steinway. There is nothing wrong with a Steinway. But when a piano company advertises that investing in one of their pianos is better than investing in the stock market, you have to wonder about the ethics of the company. Willem Blees
