Hello N.Wayne Agee, <<>>In HK we do not have one person one vote mob democracy<< What do you mean exactly? Think this is a bit harsh.>>
… I mean in HK the majority, however stirred up, do not get to impose their will on the minority via a balloting process that gives every person of varying qualification and contribution an equal vote, and while this seems terribly unfair on a mathematical basis, it is reflective of the realities of life as the planet had known it for eons.
I also mean that I did not make the rules, but I do observe that the above statement is in fact the case. <<The only thing California is a trendsetter for is how gov't should NOT be>> … I agree with you, and yet California is in fact, in many ways, a trendsetter.
<<The way out of their self-made problems will be to screw the residents through all manner of hidden taxes. And yea, they will go cap in hand to the Fed. Don't know what they will get though>>
… exactly, and I believe whatever California tries, others will try. <<Having lived abroad for the last 14 years I have heard what you have written here mouthed many times. Most is not true>>
… what is not true, in the aggregate?
<<I had a higher opinion of you..... >> … why, did I deserve the higher opinion earlier :0?
