Ali,>>>As in a real estate business, in science and technology there are three major factors: 1) education, 2) education, and 3) education. America always had some serious problems in all three areas. And this gets only elevated by your "superiority complex". <<< I think it would be quite unfair to blame all your problems on American education <ggg>. America is the only large country (pop. over 100M) that provides for free education (up to 12 yrs) for all those that have the ability and desire to do so. This country has by far (no other country can come close) the best graduate schools in business, science, and technology. If I needed serious dental or medical help and the only thing I knew were where (what country) the doctors were educated, guess which doctor(s) I would select. If I were innocent and falsly accused of a crime and the only choice I had was what country's judicial system I wanted to be tried in - guess what? This country and its education system may not be perfect, but guess what? This is where I am and this is where you are - by choice. But, if it is strictly science and technology that you want to focus on - this is it - this is where it's happening - and that is basically because of it's (this countries) ability to provide for the best education in science and technology. To say that the average person's knowledge of science and technology is inferior in this country is also quite bogus. It maybe that in Iceland the average may be much higher - but that doesn't really have much meaning. And, you certainly aren't going to try to compare the averages in India or China to the US, are you? I don't really think you should try to make fun of Burt's "logical construction". That is not a battle that you should try to take on <gggg>. There may be a logical reason for his "superiority complex". Mary
