		<description>I used to pay 6.99-9.99 when the company was eTrade. 
Then Scotia jacked up commissions to 9.99+, then again to $19.99 and today I went to make a trade and it was $39.00.   On top of that service, which used to be good under eTrade, sucks more than ever.</description>

		<description>Degrowth can be compatible with contemporary economics if you combine it with depopulation.  With the appropriate strategy, it possible to see &lt;a href=&quot;http://wavesofthefuture.net/degrowth-sustainable-development-economic-de-growth-natural-resources.shtml&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;incomes increase even while total production decreases&lt;/a&gt;. 

There is a degrowth strategy that could do that and fit within current economics.  It is called the Depopulation-Green Economic Environment (see link above).</description>

		<description>I&#039;m very new to Evernote - been using it for a couple of weeks. I&#039;m also very new to GTD - few days on that.

Your comments are certainly valid, but I think you need to add a caveat, which I saw/heard made by David Allen himself, in an interview on Twit. He was asked which, if any, of the &quot;systems&quot; he would recommend for implementing GTD, and he responded that GTD is a set of procedures, and each person needs to implement it/them for himself using whatever tools he finds most useful. In his own case, he said he is a paper kinda guy, and his major tool is a simple wooden INBOX, but he also is a long-long-long time user of Lotus Notes... which he prints for reference.

I&#039;d summarize the caveat as &quot;Use Whatever Works For You&quot;... just make sure you follow the procedures and empty your INBOX often.

---- 
A quick aside: I&#039;m trying out Evernote - I use multiple computers, including Windows and Linux desktops and notebooks, and an iPad. What I do not use - and you do - is a phone, at least not for anything other than voice and text messages. I get where you&#039;re coming from, but since I still use a somewhat dumb phone, it&#039;s not for me, at this time. I&#039;ll consider it, but right now I&#039;m still pissed off that my iPad shows up on my phone bill, has a phone number... and can&#039;t be used as a phone. There is zero technical reason for this, and if Jobs hadn&#039;t already croaked, I&#039;d seriously consider taking a quick trip to kick his ass. /RANT</description>

		<description>Thanks, I didn&#039;t look into to it. I just went with the claims of the protestors as reported by the media -- always a mistake.</description>

		<description>I noticed the racism too--usually it is an indicator of unimaginative writing throughout. Aside from some clever editing and bit of wit in the dialogue, where  less-is-more still applies, I have to admit my boredom of early on. It was after the first fight scene in particular, when the audience is left thinking, &#039;six more exes to go,&#039; as if we are to just check them off in excitement, like watching a film is keeping scoresheet at the ball game. In my opinion, it was a desperate shot at cult status, failed.</description>
