Turning to the things we would lose<br />United Nations - a good idea but not that effective. Or rather only effective when it suits the West's interests - where were they with the violence in the Congo, the Khmer Rouge?<br />World bank and IMF - yeah ok but the world could live without them if you were weighing up pros and cons.<br />Nuclear power- hmm Does the name Chernoble ring a bell or the recent problems in Japan following the Tsunami? I guess most large Western countries rely on this but I am sure we would have already developed alternatives had this not come along.<br />Rocketry - you're kidding right?! So far we have managed to waste billions of dollars on this and got as far as the moon. Yes, there undoubtedly is intelligent life out there but the chances of our flying out and meeting them in their own home territory in the next couple of centuries are slim. A much better choice for spending the money would surely have been on feeding the poor in famine ridden countries, and finding solutions so that they are not facing starvation again. Anyway, that's my two cents worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
