Yes, I'm sure that the same combination of vanity, hubris, greed, and stupidity that evidently has eviscerated various parts of Spain can be found in "the 20%" (or there abouts) pretty well anywhere in the world.

Yes, indeed. But they're not in Valencia. The really ambitious of the 20-class will have long departed for Madrid where the real political power and wealth is. (Incidentally, when I talk of the 20-class and the 80-class, I don't really mean 20% and 80% of the population strictly. It's only a rough guess between those who are members of power groups and networks, and those who, by and large, have no power at all except the occasional tick on a ballot paper. [The % of the 20-class who still live in Valencia at the present time is probably in single figures.] ) Keith M _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework Keith Hudson, Saltford, England http://allisstatus.wordpress.com <http://allisstatus.wordpress.com/>
