This is wrong of course, but it is a human nature that will not be stopped. Same thing --keeping up with your neighbors will always be there no matter what economy. People in slums do the same thing! This is true in the whole world, not only in America. But only in America you can make it from nowhere to multimillionaire. Aspiration for wanting more is not a bad thing. It fuels ambition to be the better than others, to make money. create business, etc.
2.If government would not punish our savings by taxing them, we could start saving more. What if government woud provide some incentive for savings? Our economy is based on sales and not savings. I am not sure if anything will change this.

3.I slightly disagree with your post 9/11 assesment of what US should have done. We all remember that. Terrorists wanted to cripple us financially. This is also one of their ongoing strategies. Stock market was rapidly sliding, people were scared home. Donating money did not boost economy.
4.Also I disagree that it was Bush whos objective was: housing for everybody. Bush did not create FHA. This idea stems from this kind of program. I don't know this, but I bet this idea stems from democrats.
If you look closely at retailers--most of them are old, or those who did not pay attention to trends, or overbuild. Retailers are hurting, but these particular retailers--reasons are more complex than just downturn.

Overall I really like your article. It brings clearity to this situation. We will need time to heal. Government actions will be crucial--you are right. This election will be nail biting for so many reasons. America needs experienced leader, not a cheerleader. ]]> Thu, 14 Aug 2008 14:19:18 -0400 People aspire to move up, mimic the life of rich.

Coming from different country I can appreciate America far better than you. Since you are such a Europhile, why don't you go live there for 20 years and then compare? I am so sick and tired that Americans believe what Europe is saying about America. Europe wants to feel superior-it is not. Europe consists of cynical bunch of countries and for a good reason. You belong there. Bon voyage!]]> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:02:20 -0400 Sir, you don't like America. Coming from different country I can appreciate America far better than you.

Europe is not voting for US president (THANK GOD). Markets would be much destabilized with Obama as president. First of all we don't know what he wants to "change". He wants for EVERYBODY to have everything. These socialistic ideas are scary. Not to mention of being naive polititian. Pesimism of markets in inevidable with (GOD FORBID) victory of Hussein Obama. ]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:11:19 -0400 Although you did not say it directly, you are suggesting that Obama's victory would change economical pesimism...What does tour of Europe has to do with anything?

I looked at their websites -- to try to understand what they are doing. Both have pretty horrible websites for technology companies.
I don't understand how they are making money by providing platform almost for free?
It would be informative if author would know which one has a better customer/partner service and web site help for downloads and problem solving. Microsoft is still bad at it, so is IBM and SAP. Ease of use and service is key for technology company. It does not matter whether you are engineer or layman. ]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:35:19 -0400 Now I only would wish if I could understand it:-)

And in Europe it is the No. 3 "
I get that Yandex is bigger than Google in Russia, but no.3 in Europe? You are dreaming. Why would European search through russian web site? Unless you double count--since part of Russia is in Europe.
Here are visitors by country:

Russia 66.7% Ukraine 9.8%
United States 6.2% Kazakhstan 4.2%
Belarus 1.7% Germany 1.4%

Please let me know where this search website is going to explode beyond Russia. This web site is not translated like Google. Certainly they can increase their revenues by advertisements --to Russians. But beyond that there is nothing. I would aslo be wary of Russian market transparency. There are little things like corruption.
