i'm trying to understand from where. i'm just saying, somebody, monique has just referenced, someone has done a projection that we don't think this is going to be financially feasible for the next three 3 years. that is something based on the fact that there are no more stations. >> that's based on stations cubed root the -- across the country and these take hold and like a new business they need a couple years. >> i understand that. it sounds like we are making assumptions. i would say from my standpoint it's a small thing and it is a labor of love, as we are trying do this as a business thing, i would say review it fwen, if not then we are doing it as a community benefit. >> we are not just waving it. the resolution says if the bike share program is still not generating enough revenue to cover it's expenses and the financial statements are provided in a manner that prove that, then we would and the fee waiver is requested, then we would grant it. we are not just granting it blindly, we are saying we are willing to in a

i have a few for questions i understand the trees are having to be removed a number of trees. >> some of them. >> i don't understand how the trees become involved how that happened or the facts as you right well soil is contaminated over much of the acreage of the site that contamination extended into areas the root balls the trees to effectively clean up the soil that the puc has selected requires that some of those trees be removed from that the soil isn't there the trees can be effectively cleaned up. >> i understand another question regarding the kraep why do we just cover everything over and you know not allow monday afternoon to dig all the pollutant are in the ground or on the surface of the ground if it's covered as the case of remediation you don't dig it out. >> that is a question for the regulatory agency the region overlook county control board that ordered the clean up we're not second-guessing their order rather the puc has come to us that with proposal to clean up the site we've done sequa analysis of that proposed soil remediation project. >> i understand you're going

and i want to understand the data for that, as well as understand why that was chosen. rather than turk street and eddie street, that tiknow f-- that i know for sure that there is a lot of collisions on that street. and i know for certain that golden gate is a problem going east down the hill towards steiner. there is areas where there is a number of accidents and bicyclists and pedestrians. just trying to understand how these were prioritized over others. and a comparison of those particular areas based on the numbers. so i can make a better decision about whether or not i can wholeheartedly support these projects or support something else. >> that is good feedback and something that we heard at the task force meeting is telling a story about a project. and that is something that we can do. we have that data, so we know along this corridor what the collision factors were. and so we can definitely bring that information forward. >> and then the last comment i had, and this is probably taken place before regarding the bulb outs. we have especially during rainy seasons a

that is what we understand. we know the three deputies from dallas county escorted a health official from the county when he went on wednesday last week to hand over orders to the family to stay in their apartment. so again, the health official went to hand over those orders and was escorted by three deputies. we don't know if this patient who walked in is one of those three deputies. what we do know is that this patient showed up at an urgent care center in dallas and was showing signs and symptoms of ebola and claimed to have contact with dallas, quote, patient zero. it would seem patient zero would be duncan himself. as far as we know these deputies did not have contact with patient zero. they escorted an official to hand orders to the family who are perfectly healthy. so it is unclear what deputy would have had contact with duncan himself. he's been in the hospital for quite? time. >> of course, elizabeth, last week some of the dallas county sheriff's deputies publicly expressed concern about going into thom

it's my understanding, again, the information is preliminary, it's my understanding that family members had contact with. it's my understanding that he was inside the apartment. we're working with all public agencies. our regional representatives from the regional department with the state of text. both local and state resources have contact about our event. that's correct. we've been in consult with the cdc on the scene. we were in in contact with centr disease. i'm not going to go too bai--he had several but not all five or six. he exhibited some. he exhibited enough to trigger the preliminary screening. the important thing to note is that once you go more in debt, and you talk to the patient then you're able to rule out some of the risks. [ inaudible questions ] i would new jersey anyone to call us any time they feel they need us. i think that is good counsel. if you think you're an at-risk patient call us and we can respond. you know. >> you were just listening to the fire cheap from frisco, texas, north of dallas. according to the fire chief this patient may have had contact with f

they do not understand why.is, how do we get to systems that are -- have the desired capability, but also offer the voter what they need. another piece of this is the castn of being able to voters do not understand why they should want to use the technology. if the voters don't understand -- how do we, it get to the cyber-human parts of the voting issue. ? >> i will be really clicked. quick.ll be really describe some of these cryptographic ideas in normal i can teach you the high level notion of what that is -- we need to be able to do things like that that don't cover only little components, but talk about the role of the technology in accomplishing the integrity we need. >> they want to go in and make ,heir decision, push the button and they are done. the vote is counted. that is the extent. that is the challenge we have to get over. that weto make sure have means that allow for a system that helps them do that in a versatile way. >> in this project, the voters verify that their selections have been made. of t

in understanding how we do understand weapons now without testing them, we stopped testing in 1992, youow, in the record year this country did 98 nuclear tests, the integrated amount is 1054 tests over our history, kind of our legacy, but the problem scientifically is really multi-scale. it starts at the nuclear scale, at the scale of nuclear interactions, pro figures and fusion processes, 10 to the 15 minus meter and it spans the size of the weapon, the meter size. it's more than a 15 order of magnitude problem. for those in washington what i say is you can think of it in terms of the federal budget which is about 3.5 trillion dollars. it's like managing the federal budget at the .3 cent volume. understanding cause and effect under 15 orders of magnitude is nontrivial. there have to be assumptions in there. how do you qualify the trust in the points you made at the .3 cent scale, at the $100 scale, 1,000, million, trillion dollar scale to say that i have confidence that i know where the federal budget is going and i can tell you where it's going to be next year. it is a very tough and

i understand that. i have high respect for you. the concern is the american people say, even so, they are not limited from travel, not quarantined for 21 days because they can have symptoms. they can bypass other questions that mr. wagner referred to in the thermometers there, and this is what happened with the nurse who went to cleveland. i'm concerned here in is this a maintaining administration that there's no travel restrictions? >> considering better options to protect americans. >> i give five minutes to ms. degette. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have questions for you, dr. frieden, and i appreciate yes or no answers in the short amount of time. in the spring of 20 14, ebola spread through west africa causing concern within the international public health community, correct? >> correct. >> ebola has an incubation period of 21 days, and not contagious until the person with the virus is symptomatic beginning often with a fever, correct? >> between two and 21 days, yes. >> ebola is transmitted through contact with the patient's

we do not understand that. i see the evolutionary biologists and people commenting often about what is happening there. and we do not have a clue. we are working in the most binoculars that i've ever seen. we need the data and clinical outcomes. i think that today you saw very good information. i think that the presentation was quite outstanding in terms of what they do. what does make a difference is that this is a classic storm we've seen with so many other conditions. what can we do about that? right now they have one approach that we've taken in liberia because of the dire conditions that we are delivering here. helping to understand how well that works versus the more intensive care method is true. finally the issue on those communications i just have to say right now. i think that we've had a number of people in this government that have tried very hard to do a good job, and i think they have. but we have a problem with the fact that we think we are going to scare people and so we are always coaching peop

to embody and understand what is happening. and to bring it about physically.always a scary thing like can i actually do it? when you have the people around you, there to support you and you can lean on them and have them on set for the hardest scenes. the nurse would say, when you fall out of bed, that wouldn't be possible to pull yourself that way or this way. to have them guide you along with way is super important. >> you are reading my mind in terms of where i want to take the conversation. let me start with this, hilary. you said, as an actor, i'm paraphrasing, but the sweet spot for you is looking at something you are a bit afraid of and asking, can i pull this off? i get that. we all want to challenge ourselves. >> yes. >> why does that particular fear, for some, drive people away and they decide they don't want to take that risk? it might be a quantum leap versus other people like yourself who jump in with both feet? >> i don't know. i guess you would really, in the end have to ask them. maybe it's not where their passion lies. >> why does my passion l

and we need to be able to understand that these are the behaviors that we all need to come to some understanding on and that is not happening. thank you. >> thank you. >> good night, first of all, i am sorry if you guys don't understand something that i say, i have a accent, i am sorry. and i only have questions. and there are my questions are, you guys wants to get, totally understand on the committee and how do we feel like according to the work that you are doing for us? but have you guys thought of putting in the truth of being actually part of that community? and getting on the field and not putting that uniform and just the jeans and (inaudible) shirt, and see how other people or how even, your co-worker cops could treat you? honestly, i am the... and i am really scared and one day, that i will be stopped by a cop. these things that i have seen make me worried about my life. >> this is for you guys. >> what is on the next news, you see joyer grandchild or your kid, being abused by a police officer. what would you do? how would you feel? i bet that you guys would feel exactly like us. and w

why was there, i knew i didn't understand it and i knew i didn't understand what this set of african americans have been living with for 1500 years. >> but you seen this movie before, though. >> yes, yes and when you have systemic oppression the way ferguson practiced it as a predatory government, when you've been imposing that on people for decades and decades and expected it to go on, the folks have been on auto pilot. i talked to the white folks there, they really didn't know what i was talking about. they kind of looked at me in a startled way and i said it has been predatory. do you understand your government prayed on the black population here and the resentment has built above the danger level? the white folks are completely lost. i mean, they don't understand any of this. so when you've got that kind -- and you don't have leadership that's willing to sit up and say okay, we've been wrong in the past. we've been wrong, we shouldn't have done any of this. we're sorry. we're starting a new page right here and they weren't trying to tip the scales in the favor of non-indictment.

so, we are interested in understanding what the requirements of the natural system are and also understanding how major land uses in that basin, particularly agriculture, affect the water quality in the river. narrator: the suwannee river basin faces two major obstacles in the future -- increased demand and increased pollution. an average 1,000 people move into the region daily, using freshwater for their homes and septic systems. pollution levels in the basin are also increased when farmers spread fertilizers high in nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrate, on crops for increased yields. the excess fertilizer not used by the crops can be carried to rivers, causing algae and other plants to grow. this can change water quality, rendering it unfit for human consumption. dr. graham's task is to produce mathematical models used to predict how these factors and others work together to determine the health of the ecosystem. with these models, she hopes to avoid some of the mistakes that were made in the past in florida. dr. graham: well, the suwannee river basin in florida is relatively undevelop

getting involved in a more civic way, understanding the processes and understanding the services for this commission took a while. it is for the first time that i through friends and colleagues that i understand that platforms like commission and others are great places and great groups to help the community which has been my constant desire since i started my professional career. it's also the international work allow me i believe and perhaps that is why i think that i could be a good addition to the commission in this particular time in my life. the international work allow me to go back to the country in central america, guatemala, mexico, columbia. they had a strong tie with immigration and criminality and violence unfortunately with the united states and has been allowing me to put two things together which is to understand the life of the immigrant here and lucky and close to them and understand the cost of that immigration and how important it is for us to work and i believe for the commission to have a perspective in understanding what's happening there and why that's printin

outside of that, understanding what the tool is and that is our job to basically understand, get people to understand this is what this can do. tell me what you are trying to accomplish and i can apply some of the tools and tell you what you need to do. >> we have seen a tremendous amount of innovation over the past couple of years on the data and technology front both from partisan firms and nonpartisan companies. i'm interested in both of your perspectives on whether or not technological information in the political sphere should come from partisan only firms? or should we be more broad than that? historicalthere is a fact that partisan companies have been able to partner more closely with the party organizations and the campaign's. therefore, they have been able to take the innovation of the obama campaign for example and drive that through the entire democratic universe. i would unnecessarily put it that should apart as or nonpartisan companies be driving innovation. everybody is welcome to play but i think it happens to be true that the partisan companies have innovated better and

and then the physical, the folks who understand how to model and simulate and understand those interdependencies can say here are the consequences from that. and that is a critical part of prioritization, right? all of us understand that we have limited resources, limited time, and we have got to make decisions about how we prioritize the allegations of resources. will it's a superstorm sandy, a cyber attack or a physical sabotage. something on the scale that we at the homeland security department are worry -- to keep generators going, and it is the folks at npbd that says, there's a communications hub that people aren't paying attention to, that if it's running out of fuel in our generator, international communications up and down the eastern seaboard will be avblged, we got to get fuel or generator help to that facility. that's the kind of dynamic prioritization that our folks in ocia, the office of cyberand instruction analysis do. so the growing expertise at npbd is actually increasingly being recognized by outside observers. for example, i mentioned phyllis snek, and bob stanley, they were

of importance so i appreciate that sfmta is looking at the borders on a case by case basis to understanding the mixed use and a half of the area so thank you. >> thank you. >> so new dbi? >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is patrick i'm the chief building inspector at dbi here to talk about our policies and procedures. >> construction work at night is covered under san francisco muni code allowable working hours we know are from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. it's important to talk about the 5 decimals over ambiance what is essential means is that those projects can navigate work that is within this 5 decimals above ambiance that's the normal background noise that's during the day it includes drywall work maybe painting, finish electrical plumbing work those are categories which will fall into the 5 d b ambient, however, as supervisor kim pointed out we have all those new projects that are recently come on line winning within the rincon point and they're not at the time at the point to finish plumbing or painting we're face with a challenge and i think the word used was balance it's about bala

we can't understand the question.s too c >> my question is why would you relate a terrorist attack to muslim, while there was a terrorism attack in the united states or somewhere else? you don't relate it to the person's religion. >> i'll try to answer the question. if you read my book. i talk about islamist terrorism. i talk about christian terrorism. i talk about all kinds of religions. >> what's an example of christian terrorism? modern christian terrorism. >> the christian identity movement. and the christian identity movement operates on a group of elite people. the white arians. >> and what do they do? they kill those do h that don't agree? how do they act out? >> would you define those who act out against abortion crimes as terrorists? >> oh, definitely, definitely. anti-abortion terrorism, like the aog, the army of god. understand that the number of anti-abortion killings in the past 20 years has been just minim minimal. >> in the audience now, sir. >> you were mentioning verses of the koran. you know, some of

it's my understanding it was again, the information is preliminary, but it was my understanding it was family members that he had contact what. [ inaudible ] >> from my understanding it was inside the apartment. [ inaudible ] we're working with all public agencies, we have been in contact with collin county and dallas county health departments, also the regional -- development of emergencies management within the state of texas and all the associated agencies that we need to contact so both local and state resources have been event. that's correct. we have been in consult with the cdc on the scene while we were on the scene at care now. we were in contact with the centers for disease control. [ inaudible ] >> out of five or six symptoms, he was minus a few that i think gave us reason to believe or maybe the health department reason to believe that this was a lower legal risk. [ inaudible ] . >> i said he had several but not all five or six. he was exhibiting some. he exhibited enough to trigger the preliminary screening. i think the important thing to note is once you get more in depth

the reasons are understandable. right now the oil industry, the oil & gas industry has for the most part fallen under the political nomenclature's management and these people have reduced efficiency in a great way. so despite the high prices, expenld tures are grossing at the same way or faster. >> nevertheless, we still do have reserves. i think for some period of time there should be enough of them. after yards, if prices don't jump up to 200 barrels a-- 200 dollars a barrel, i think that the authorities are going to have a harder time explaining themselves to the people why it is that the people shouldn't partake in running the government despite the fact that the authorities themselves seem incapable of providing them with constant growth in their standard of living. the social contract with, between the people and the authorities was just that. you insurance constant growth in our standard of living and we don't medal in rung the country. >> rose: right, you take care of politics and we have a good life. >> yes

because we want to understand how does the development of a forest occur. determina que la planta ha muerto. y aquí se pone el código de que es muerta. narrator: these sties have led to hypotheses on how so many rare species can survive with so few individuals. of the 300 species in this plot 15 to 20 of them are represented by a single individual. dr. davies: how do these individual species, just with one tree how do they survive? how do they produce? the two hypotheses about how rare species get maintained -- the pollinators may be very mobile. they may be able to travel large distances to find their mates, to find individuals of the same species to reproduce. the second one is that they may be self-fertile. that means they may just reproduce themselves. and then they don't need any other individuals nearby. rrator: the scientists have also formed theories on why the common species are unable to take over. and the reason is that common species when they reproduce seedlings -- they produce more seedlings than rare species, but those common species the comm

san francisco people joy hosting guests from around the world and make additional income everyone understands the need for that given the housing issue here through i think the issue is keeping the city affordable so this is an activist because we like to do it and not to do it not because we have to of course, i've been an airbnb user it's and it's a great way to vacation with friends when it's hard to get multiple hotel rooms and i've done it for weddings and i understand the platforms both to the hosts and the guests preliminary concern i've expressed is a potential loss or existing loss of our housing stock that's been x batdz by airbnb and b rb o i've met resident that have been ellis acted because they want to do do airbnb that's the type of behavior we want to encourage you can make more money through airbnb rather than the renting that's the type of behavior we don't want to encourage we want to make sure that the legislation is campfiresable how do we create legislation that we can enforce you know, we have a number of different areas of our code that's difficult to enforce but this

she doesn't even understand english. so you go there to blah blah blah whatever, you might have chickens cackling there. we need to treat the community with respect. fault not really there, but over here. so here the general manager has to stop and say i will go measure the footage. somebody else says, i will make a resolution that if it's that footage then everything is okay, if it's not that footage, then what? the simple way of addressing any of the benefits that were brought about to mitigation is to have a very wholesome meaningful discussion in the community. that's not happening. that's all i want to say. every time we come here, we don't want to fight. we have to agree. and even if we disagree, we have to sit down and go to a better place. so that's all i have to say. finally, that space is for our children. whoever is the new operator, he better treat our children to the best of his ability or her ability. thank you very much. >> commissioners, we have an amended motion on the floor. i would like to call for the

i understand the environment. you don't have to have any understanding when you've got a phone. and so being lost can take on a whole new meaning, because if you're lost on a map, at least you know what the map is. there was a case a few years back, and this kind of thing has happened recurringly, where a couple got into their car, they wanted to go to vegas, they were in canada and they plugged in destination vegas and they said shortest route, instead of fastest route. easy oversight, right? they went on logging roads and they wound up in a canyon and the guy wandered off and died. i forgot to ask you more about k your sort of background, but clarence, maybe you can tell us a little bit about what you do and how information and -- >> sure, sure. i guess actually i owe kind of what i do in part to wendy. i have been at cna, safety and security team, for about five years now so we do a lot of work on disaster response and preparedness issues, law enforcement issues, we do a lot of work for fema, doj and some state

i understand that. it's important to have some sense of where you would like to go, where you would like to be as you build capability and as you build those relationships. >> hi. my name is kimba walden at dhs. you mentioned for a minute that you were working with the ava to encourage the private bar to do more effective due diligence on evaluating cyber security networks before they merge. i'm just wondering if you can talk a little bit more about the contours of what -- how your incentivizing the private bar to do that and what the response has been. >> yes. thank you. i have been working most closely with my former colleagues at the aba standing committee on law and national security, but they are reaching out to the business law section and others in the aba, very early stages of those conversations, but just before i went into the department, help stand up a cyber security legal task force in the american bar association and i met with them in boston at the aba annual meeting just a couple weekend

and the understanding that it's not natural to mankind. and this includes contradicting the animal kingdom's tendency to regard other members of the species is troubled or natural prey. until only a few civilizations have understood and everyone has understood that the west is preferable to constant movement and that understanding comes from an understanding that mankind is one and that the differences between, it was considerably smaller than any human being in any other species. but that understanding has christian and classical greek intellectual roots. embodying that understanding, of wars, was and continues to be a struggle. the clear leverage and of the composition is a christian one and you see it, of course, most clearly in the regard of his kingdom. his kingdom is not of this world and god's kingdom is not of this world. saint augustine collaborated to that point. christians, he said, should be indifferent to the fate of the roman empire because the fate of individual souls is far more important than what happens to any group of p

point of understanding compensation package and scale. but also do homework and you know ask around. ask around with colleagues and try to get a sense of some things and be armed with that conversation because it is difficult otherwise. >> cheryl sanburg famously at lien in said this is tricky for women. dinged as deemed as confrontational the same way a man might be and counter offers are tricky. people expect loyalty out of women you say i have another offer can you nach and they do but then they're mad what do you do? >> you have to have perspective of what you want to be and who your values are. if you come into discussion around salary with intention to negotiate and not willingness to walk away you're disadvantaged. at the end of the day you're talking to your boss, sharmain's case she's running system equitable process. satyavathi has opportunity to run a process he's the bus. the system will catch up. we're looking forward to microsoft system. he's in charge of the platform. at the ends of the day as a woman if awe approach it or

this legislation it is for more of the part time posters so i want to understand the bed-and-breakfast permit it goes through quickly and easily but if i'm going to tell a group of the guests to go that way i want to understand it so if someone could articulate that process. >> thank you scott sanchez with the planning staff wards to the bed-and-breakfast permit there's bed-and-breakfast per say it's a hotel use so depending on the district it's conditional use except the rh1 and rh2 and others district but it's a standard will discretionary review process so someone that is seeking to open one up about under go the same process there's a mail notice beforehand within 3 hundred feet of the subject property and that's the general process. >> is it a fairly simmer process. >> we subject small businesses to in the city it's not necessarily reluctant those are done at the planning commission a a matter of the backlog of progressing the applications. >> my next question is for dee dee young and come back to planning so for the department of building inspection if the discretionary review is

system but maybe now we have to understand. we have the same challenges, same problems, danger for all of us and we need to unite our forces to create these new world order. how we do it, i don't know. it's clear that we need to respect principles. we need to respect international law. have to great multilateral decision. this is, or multi-match and -- look, it was easy to impose in the middle east. it was possible, the united states and soviet union, they could stop the war, speaking by phone. and decide how to stop. today,. [inaudible] that's why it's necessary to create a totally new system. everybody will participate. we will expect -- respect the order and we will work together. it's not easy, i understand, in the of the world. i don't, i don't see any other possibility to avoid the more difficult period if we don't stop this work. >> a question from matt happened to be the head of the canon institute. >> you already introduced the, thank you. there's an opinion that often times the reason why we can't get started on this

he is an emergency room physician, is my understanding. so, that is the concern. >> will the gentleman yield? >> sure. >> i would like a clarification from the major on one of your responses to the chairman's questions. you said that the quarantine cannot happen in the country of origin or infection and that you would quarantine, as i understand from your answer, for 10 days in say liberia before you would allow them to come to the united dates. my first question is, why can't you? clarification. clarification. why can you not quarantined in the country of infection? particularly if we are sending the military over to bill the quarantine units? doctors, refer to the but to be absolutely certain that everyone is ebola for the it needs to be outside the zone of infection and for all intents and purposes the country is an infection zone, but i will refer to the doctor. >> the cdc's guidelines right now indicate that if you have no risk, if you have not been exposed to other people, if you have not -- >> this question was about military person

we have to understand the history. what happened in the 50s in iran but still drives the iranians or the old leaders who want a major change in iran by the way that both of the leaders who arrived in the 50s and the cia. we have to understand that history. it's part of a whole picture. we have to understand the history in asia. i don't want to go beyond that, but so i think the characteristics would be that they would really understand the history and keep their eyes open and understand our limitations as well as our power. understand or limits of power can understand the capabilities of power when you decide to use it use it wisely and effectively the power of coalitions i think a wise owl understands its critical particularly in that part of the world unless there's some immediate threat to our own interest that you act with countries in the region far more powerful than to just have a western effort militarily which plays into the hands of the terrorists. that is a propaganda fuel for them. it's a western occupation

so did the president understand those two levels?n we say that we are partnered with assad, the al whites are supposed to align with shia but isis is a radical shiite movement, some of them are sunnis that would've opposed the regime in baghdad that would be more aligned and so what you are saying is that when you start peeling the onion back, you now find more complexities and a religious element and an ethnic element and becomes a much tougher effort in this environment. [inaudible question] >> and what is the deal with isis? >> i am trying to understand what he's trying to say. he didn't have a strategy. and what bothers me about that as there should be a middle east strategy and a strategy for syria and iraq and isis might've been a wild target that they didn't expect that they had to fit an overall strategy if it meant that he didn't have a military plan were immediately responding to this, then that is not a strategy. that is an operational plan. so either he didn't have a strategy or he doesn't understand what strategy it is.

you can abstract understanding without direct quid pro quo.u think the people in government don't know what's available outside? i think you are very naÏve. sure they know. >> rather than ad hominem attacks whether to elevate debate one of the issues when the military-industrial complex which eisenhower said in his last speech the speech drafted allegedly by goodpaster had the initial. because the two people coming into the presidency were kennedy and johnson and two senators it would be inappropriate for him to have the two senators castigated and strike out the congressional relationship. that notion that -- has been deepen our understanding of american politics and policy sense that period of eisenhower. this gentleman is very patient. say who you are in a quick question. >> thank you very much. my name is martin and i'm a veteran foreign correspondent for the "washington times" and upi. my question is primarily for bruce. i believe history shows in the past 70 years james madison was wrong. when congress has the power of the purse that is

why people don't understand us. so it tends to go around and around and around. but also to say that the circumstances you talk about with a good friend of mine, robert and it's just that you are not just joe the family guy over there and that's the disconnect trying to understand where the rubber meets the road but when you pull the veil back you have to understand that it's really messed up and it's unjustifiable. so i guess one of the questions i would like to ask people is what do you feel, if you describe it i have my own definition of that. people say it's like the scarlet letter and it's a badge of honor. it's a true sense of enlightenment because i know what it takes to be able to live in the worst and best side of humanity and i'm very blessed by it. >> if you could define it from what you have seen with families and soldiers and stuff but would you put onto it? >> i will start my answer with a philosophical qualification which is that so there's this philosopher of science who writes about the history of m

understands. of course, that is exactly why people like greenspan say, yeah, no you cannot regulate this. this is too complex. my argument is if it's too complex, simplify it, yeah? no, because you sound like, i don't know, car which can do 300 miles an hour with so many different switches and buttons and gears and to -- and so on, and you don't know how to control it. in order to encourage faster driving, we need to abolish traffic lights and, yeah, the seat belts are too expensive, aren't they? let's get rid of them. the air bag takes the thrill out of driving, so let's remove it.
