Secretary-General Kofi Annan and former U.S. official George Schultz, who held Cabinet posts under Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker; former presidents of Mexico, Brazil and Colombia; writers Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa; British business mogul Richard Branson; and the Greek prime minister.

>>>>>>>>>What I'd like to know is why the former presidents of Mexico, Brazil, & Colombia didn't bring this up before.

>>>>>>>>>Supposedly the report is 24 pages - I'd love to read it but so far haven't found it.

>>>>>>>>You mean, marijuana is not legal? Never would have guessed that. I was at Phish concert last night and probably every other person was smoking pot. I was the "other" person :) but I have no problem with others doing it.

>>>>Last night the show was sold out and there were a lot of people in the partking lot looking for tickets. It was a beautiful night, warm, dry, not hot; this is the only reason I see driving into the parking without a ticket and hoping to buy one.

>>>>I don't know your age but I definetely felt a little "over-the-hill" in the crowd :). Although a girl (of about 20-25) in front of us kept offering me a joint. I think to her it was a way of showing the care for a senior citizen :).

>>>Based on the crowd, I too was in the over the hill group. I felt like i should be passing out bars of soap to people. A girl in our row went from standing/wobbling to bouncing her forehead off the concrete. Before the band started. Good times.

>>I also saw a lot of very "interesting" characters (too bad my Blackberry is no good for making videos, which I tried). But I am very happy I went. Now I can tell my future grandchildren (if I live long enough to see them) that I saw Phish live :).

>Psst .... they're not going to care ;-) It will be like telling young people of today that you saw the Grateful Dead or Little Feat. It won't register.
