Jay, Good post and thought provoking. Your post brought me out of Lurkerdom for the first time in a while. However, I disagree with one of your statements "I do not think the US has to be too concerned about the Chinese and Hindus...". Around the world, the Chinese quite often are the business owners and also in general seem to be bright and hard working. I have no statistics for this, just a general impression. My guess is that if China makes it to democracy and a free economy, with their large population they could be a challanger to the U.S. Elsewhere in the world, most of the cultures strive toward obtaining more status and free time instead of working long hours for success and money like those of us in America......just don't understand that strange thinking of foreign cultures (g). Fortunately, here in the U.S. we have one advantage over all other countries.....a high percentage of population with attention deficit disorder. You probably think I'm nuts, but these are people who tend to have very high IQ's,can look at life from a different angle and thereby think far out of the box, could care less about fitting in, and want to work wee hours into the night on some wierd subject that no one else is interested in. My guess is that many on SI fit this description (g). Tom
