mindmeld, I was speaking to a USDA employee who has top clearance today at the YMCA. He indicated that he recently had a meeting with the FBI regarding security. During the meeting Thmas Friedmman's book "The World is Flat." was discussed regarding the impact of economics on countries and how the countries are connected through their supplier. Friedman use DELL which receives parts from over 200 countries in producing its computers and other equipment. It is amazing how from the point of origination of a part, the part may originate in China, go to Tiawan, then to India and other countries prior to reaching the US and the consumer. Friedman's theme, this process will flatten out the World and economically will deter wars.

Our World sure has changed.
