you are, of course, welcome to your prejudices. though i would tend to think that your government and your corporate culture are to be equally blamed for your current economic mess. or are you looking for easy scapegoats? as for political systems, let the chinese take the call on that. not everyone has to be or even wants to be like you (you as in 'political you'), you know. it's an old, evolving culture and i am sure they can work out for themselves all the contradictions and different pulls that entails. or, do you want to send in the B-52s? :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
