I followed all kinds of links and couldn't figure out bitcoins. This link actually answered some questions. Sounds really fascinating. Definitely will look into this more.

Interesting. I think the answer depends on who you are. It is a choice if you don't believe in religion. Its not a choice if you are religious.

Why did this innovation happen in India and not the US or Europe? Dr Shetty is planning to build a similar hospital in the Cayman Islands for Americans so I have to assume it has to do with government regulation. Is the health care system

I can't help feeling this guy is incredibly talented. $66,000 a year? Making a living with an English composition degree must be fantastically competitive and difficult if thats the best he can do.

I assume you feel the suppression of political opponents is a major issue because it causes a government to become corrupt, abusive, and make bad decisions without the accountability that comes from criticism and competition. I agree. But
