Halting the assault on biodiversity will not be easy, but there are many actions that governments can take. First, they should develop and support local scientific institutions that train professionals in conservation techniques. More money should flow into educational programs that alert people to the irreversible consequences of a loss of genetic diversity. An international, environmental version of the Peace Corps could spread conservation expertise to the Third World...
There are no solely military solutions. So we need warriors who can operate in the policy world as well. It's the same within the military. We need broad- based fighters. We need managers too.

By constantly monitoring flight conditions, the Airbus onboard computers help cut maintenance and fuel costs...

Yes, they could continue playing what they have played in this film: a comedy of frustration...
...course, with all our asssets tied up in paying off the huge loans we've accumulated, we can't afford to develop new, better products that will make us stronger in the long run, but that's okay because in five years we'll sell our stock publicly again and make back 10 times what we invested. This assumes that the economy and inflation continue an upward trend, because if they don't we'll go bankrupt, but what's life without a little risk...
