And maybe, hopefully you can do it more often.

People now in Syria are divided in two groups maybe more.

By contrast, Russia may become more of a menace due to the decline in oil prices.

Perhaps they do. But that won t necessarily make their countries more prosperous.

Perhaps Hu Jia and Chen Guancheng represent this silent billion more than the Party does.

They may have owned more than half of the land in Lombard Italy.

Among the numerous victims, perhaps the most bizarre case was that of a young journalist named Bagauda Kaltho.

This alone will probably cost more than 1 of GDP.

Maybe if the streets were safer, women could make choices about their clothes by themselves and themselves alone, and no one would give a damn.

Perhaps this shows that France is more civilized than the US.

Also, it is important to avoid the situation where a change might be more upsetting to users, long term, than living with the known problem(s) (where the cure would be worse than the disease ).

When that happens, simply championing a softer target, most probably 2.5 or three degrees, will not suffice.

Five is a bit much. Probably four is rational.

Recently we've been battered with the idea that maybe we didn't even have our own creation event, here on earth, which people didn't like much. And then the human genome said, maybe we only have 35,000 genes. And that was really people didn't like that, we've got more genes than that.

Perhaps that's true.

Maybe this is what Christmas is all about.

Our era is probably much more religious than the eighteenth century ever was. To invoke Voltaire is one thing, I thought at the time, but to act responsibly may presuppose refraining from insulting what is most sacred to others, whether it be Christ, Muhammad, or the Shoah.

Perhaps in convergent mode we need to be more serious.

Why talk about social economic movements that may be more than a century away?

But one conclusion is perhaps more compelling than ever.

So it may be that, in certain halls, this dynamic may well work.

Can we maybe be much more selective and create better environments that also benefit from darkness?

The terrorism threat ten years from now probably will be even more diverse and unpredictable.

Wouldn't that be enough? And then the children would get plenty of support, and nurturing, and mentoring, and the world population would decline very rapidly and everybody would be totally happy.

Well...no one was more surprised than Iranians themselves by the results (except for Gissou Nia).

Maybe we could look at that to be more similar to the falling of the Berlin Wall, where a divide that had kept two types of people apart had collapsed and opened up a door for further communication.

Perhaps, though, Saddam was too eager to sell oil concessions to French, Russian, and Italian companies rather than British and US companies.

Perhaps you should do that now.

It can last for hours, days, weeks, or longer.

It's happening all over the Developed World, probably for loss of habitat, but also because our cities are a little bit more livable than they have been.

I think it will be more if we keep burning fossil fuels, perhaps even five meters, which is 18 feet, this century or shortly thereafter.
