RON <Asia is a different story as an historic recession
in Japan produced little change. It isn't just Japan. It's China also. And I don't see how the economic malaise in those economies can be restructured without accepting some very harsh cultural and economic medicine. Merging banks ain't going to cut it.>

Have to disagree on China -- the changes there are huge. I have been in China a number of times the past couple of years and I am astounded by the pace of change -- it seems real enough to me. I am not talking about construction and cranes etc -- I am talking about restructuring, unemployment, things getting shut down, labor unrest and on and on. They are not just talking change -- it seems to be happening.

I don't think I can say the asme about Japan. There are signs of change, but lots of things are "same old". In Japan the big changes are inter-generational -- out of control kids in school, tons of women that hit 30 and are not married who say "to hell with it, I just am not going to get married" -- 20 something kids everywhere looking like a freakish offshoots of the 1960s in the US -- etc. Japan just seem lost and confused.
