Hi Maurice, for some reason, I feel drawn to write to you each and every weekend, again and again, as if I am tuned into a dark cosmic puzzle requiring solution and a cellular wrong requiring redemptive action:0)
<<Life expectancy in the USA exceeds that of China>> ...
True, when averaged across all PRC population, including the 700 mm peasants, comprising of 200 mm in the poorest areas where trees do not grow. False if comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges, meaning urban folks to urban folks. Unfortunately, this is starting to change, not so much with America catching up, but with China falling down, as diets get McD-ed, and cars replace bicycles. Progress, cannot live with, and cannot live without, literally. The practice of keeping mistresses also has a positive action on prolonging life for some ancient but as yet unexplained reason.
<<Acupuncture is nonsense>> ...
This statement, more than any other you have thus made on all your postings, throws your QCOM bullishness into severe doubt. A British power company executive had a massive backache attack while travelling with me to the extent that he had to be lifted out by hotel staff out of the bathtub. Had him walking in 6 hours, and now he makes appointment with Chinese Doc before each of his China trips.
<<Herbal medicine is mostly nonsense too, on a par with homeopathy and 'alternative' medicine>> ...
I will not bother to refute this because you did not mean it;0)
Well, that was fun for me:0)
