Has OPEC outlived its purpose?
"OPEC is only relevant because we in the West have made it relevant. We have been propping up dictatorial, suppressive regimes for decades by our unquenchable thirst for oil and with political policies which extend a hand in friendship rather than calling it what it really is...a monopoly. Let's not forget how many Saudi nationals comprised the hijacking crews on 911. I, for one, am living for the day, about ten years after the world fully switches over to alternative fuels, when the Middle East's Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and Bugattis will be traded in for Yugos. Hope I live that long. Yoni"Are Beards BAD for Business? The Survey Says...(YouTube)
"Good point Hamed. In the home countries of these populations though, the beard is looked on as a more normal extension of the body. It is in places where people immigrate and are part of minorities, I believe, where it looks more foreign and is less accepted. I think the premise of the video is sound though...Western boardrooms, in general, are not filled with bearded CEOs.

Lions. Tigers. Chimps. Cute animal videos are one of the few reddeming qualities of the internet. Michael Douglas said in Wall Street: "If you want a friend, get a dog." Already have two of those. I say: "Want to learn about human behavior? Watch animals." Best lesson I've learned thus far: All other species kill for survival. Food. Defense of territory. We humans are the only ones who do it for sport, for fun, for vengeancë, to be "made men" in the mob, to earn gang colors, or just because somebody looked at us the wrong way.

"Looking for a helping hand in the workplace? Just make sure that same hand doesn't have a knife in it...aimed at your back. Sure there are those great people who pitch in, but others slyly ask what's in it for them or have ulterior motives like sabotage. Or...I'm just paranoid... Yoni"Subscribe

"Valentin, I think time for full compensation has arrived, but you do make a good point: those who were chosen for labor are alive today because they were selected. BTW: I read a while back that most of the salve-laborers were Soviet POWs. Yoni "
