After WWII the Hungarians were pretty much stuck in the eastern block as human shields against a NATO attack against the USSR. So they were not provided with much rebuilding as the West did for other countries. They picked up pencil and paper and are now known as a country that produces mathematical and scientific geniuses. e.g. Paul Erdős Erdős published around 1,500 mathematical papers during his lifetime, a figure that remains unsurpassed

and you aren't buying parts of their companies to share the wealth. sad. you can even get partial shares w/o commissions now.

When you buy a share of equity in a corporation that means you own m/nth of the company where n is the number of stock share issued, m is the shares of stock you own. Nothing is stopping you from being a shareholder except you wanna buy those fancy things. Read "The millionaire next door". We drive 10 y.o.Toyotas, shop at wal-mart, cut our own hair, and buy parts of businesses. You don't?

our mid-sized town put in the charter that bicycling and walking facilitation be funded. And boy-howdy did they do it! I can walk on sidewalks now instead of the busy roads. There is even a six mile asphalt walking trail now. Gotta go to the meetings, organize, and put pressure on these city council people. Most are inactive by the look of them.

What about the Internet public libraries? Sometimes my town library doesn't have the book, I can get a pdf or view from a reader, depending on the online library
