I will check him out. I would argue though that another equally important dynamic is corporation versus corporation. Or tribe versus tribe. I agree that countries matter less and less. When the "butter queen" sits down with the "cow king" deals that matter get done. Tribes and markets define the future, not countries. BobLQ "a Filipino overseas worker" PS. As I write this I am surrounded by a warm and happy family. Laughter and singing. It is Paulo's birthday. He is my daugheter's boy friend. I like him. My wife's sister "Baby" is here on her first visit from the Philippines. Baby is about 50, a successful rural business person (corn and rice farming) with seven children. Everyone is speaking the provincial language, Kapmpangan. I do not understand more than two words. Kaligura daka. I love you. I have family in five countries. That family goes into another dozen countries. The family is more important than any of those countries. Blood is thicker than water. Life is good. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
