    this article has some interesting points to it. not all are good or thought out (like 'lets do it cus china is too'). 

    but comes with an interesting map too.

    That's real big picture thinking.  It's kind of a rare thing these days.

    I know, right? Kinda refreshing. Too bad I really don't have anyone around me that can carry that conversation. Could be interesting.

    Cool.  If I had time/skills I'd create a board off a dymaxion map.
