Re: virtual reality to the rescue

well here is an interesting thing approximately $177,000,000,000 were spent by Bush on the war in Iraq, add to that approximately $65,000,000,000 spent on war on terror, add to that extra money that we had to pay for gas over the period of war, because taking out the major producer of oil in the middle east caused us to pay such summs (from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005 in the month of july the difference in average price of regular gasoline is approximately 40 cents/galon * 756,000,000 galons/day * 365 days * 2 years of wars in the middle east) $215,308,800,000 but as we round to nearest billion dollars, $215,000,000,000 so in the end a sum of money of about $457 billion dollars emerges, even if you gave each school a million dollars, you could have gotten 457,000 schools well on their way to great education, but the since Bush administration merely wastes money on armed conflicts, all those schools still dont have money, dont give a good education, or even give a desk for the kids to sit behind or a chair to sit on.
I know this is not supposed to be a political discussion but you brought it up...
