Copycats who produce milk made of melamine do okay for a while. But working for low pay and pinching other people's ideas isn't leadership. Gaoling anyone who hints at disagreement isn't leadership either. It is better than bludging for a living though, which is increasingly the New Zealand way of life - as the number of producers reduces, and proportion of bludgers increases, the rate of loss increases. Yes, I do like it when the playing field gets level. I had a discussion with a snobby lady 30 years ago on the ski fields [actually in the lodge]. She was saying how bad unemployment was getting. I explained that the only thing wrong with unemployment is that the pay rate isn't high enough. She reflected for a moment then asked, "But what would they do?" as though the witless savages would be at a loss for something to do. I suggested they could come and crowd the ski slopes. She was horrified at the idea as though the mindless plebs were unfit to be in such exalted circumstance. I quite like being unemployed. With QCOM selling you CDMA/OFDM, my income is okay. China will have to adopt VVV to excel or at least Confucianism if full blown VVV is beyond them [including patience]. I say export the jobs to China and go skiing. Get machines to do the work that they won't do in China. Or maybe hire Indians, or Indonesians. By patience, I don't mean waiting in a queue for a witless kleptocrat to clip a ticket, I mean patience to wait for a crop to ripen or circumstances to evolve to advantage. That sort of patience is virtuous. Patience with a child trying to learn is also virtuous. Mqurice
