ACF, Ramsey knows all that stuff. He's one of those very intelligent but naughty boys who sits happily amusing himself making clever remarks and baiting the teacher and stirring up the rest of the class.

Ramsey sits high on a USA silicon valley canyon lip, in a beautiful house his Chinese ancestors could only dream of, overlooking his source of prosperity like a farmer keeping watch over his cows.

He doesn't really think Uncle Al's a bad bloke. Ramsey's indifferent. Just like Jay and those other Hong Kongese who see themselves as living on an island in the sea of humanity and needing to make a prosperous living by finangling some financial trading to keep the rest of humanity jogging along, paying a tithe to Hong Kong's denizens [or ex denizens].

Notice how Jay has spread his tentacles to every corner of the earth [though not here because he knows the tip would be nipped - though he has made a foray into my realm via the magical mystical world of the CDMA2000 phragmented photon]. Ramsey has done likewise, but based in a different physical place. The place is irrelevant. It's the viewpoint which matters which is from high on the rock of Hong Kong.

They don't have that western 'good of mankind' ethic which leads us all too easily to Globalstar and to Tikrit. They see the world through a rose-coloured wallet. No noblesse oblige for them!

Mqurice

PS: How's that Jay, Ramsey, Yiwu and Yuall? Bullseye?

Addendum: The "western 'good of mankind' ethic" I should add is not universally adopted in the 'west', which I suppose many will have realized is a wild generalisation. Most in the wild [eyed] west can't even spell noblesse oblige and haven't heard of Rudyard or Cecil.
