It’s possible that nothing will happen on May 7. Disagreement or competing visions could bog the group down in the process. That’s why it’s so important that this conversation happens before that meeting. Others who disagree with this plan should put their ideas forward, debate, discuss, synthesize. Democracy can’t function in a matter of hours and the decisions we have to make are too big to be postponed or ignored. So let’s get to work...
...HEXAPOD. A six-legged manned vehicle that resembles a cross between a giant grasshopper and an Erector Set horse. Planned for use over hilly, rocky or swampy areas that would bog down jeeps and tanks, the l0-ft.-tall Hexapod is designed to lurch along at up to 8 m.p.h. by taking 9-ft. steps. Clint Kelly III, director of DARPA's Office of Engineering Application, calls the gawky-looking device the most technologically advanced off-road vehicle ever constructed...

...Still, if the state didn't take such a big chunk of her income every month, she says she would spend more rather than squirreling it away. Multiply Moser's lament across 42 million German workers and it's easy to see how high taxes hamper consumer spending and bog down the country's economy. Indeed, having to pay more taxes for less service is a common lament these days in Europe, where taxes and social charges have risen sharply over the past 30 years and are now among the highest in the world. Adding together corporate, personal, social security...
