Of course. If I have a lawn mower and you only have a scythe then I'll probably be ten times as productive as you are in big lawns. I'd like to know what did this statistic took into account. OTOH, I generally agree with the article. Provided you stop this savage capitalism that costs you so much, and the outrageous military spending, you will probably be ahead of the world for decades. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
