According to Marx all societies go through essentially the same stages of industrial development. It is therefore a historical dialectic inevitability that almost as soon as they have developed spinning jennies and the crinoline, somebody in the 3rd world will have the bright idea to coat a piece of paper with a silver solution. The rest will be history. Eventually. -- Cheers, Bob "More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly." Woody Allen
