Does this mean you will stop using SI (American), stop flying Boeing aircraft (mostly American), stop using Intel, AMD, ARM, Texas Instruments and Transmeta processors, Microsoft operating systems (try Linux) and stop eating at McDonald's ? (the last is a good idea whatever ideology you have) By the way, make sure your cell phones aren't using that devious American invention, the transistor. I wrote a similar reply when someone tried to exclude all the Japanesse products from their life.

<I'll make sure my and my friends cellphones do not carry any QCOM technology as well> Marek, it's the cyberphones where you'll need QUALCOMM. The world is forming a neural net in a vast transition from 19th century nationalistic territorial ways of life. It's a global mesh now and you can't escape it. But the big stuff is not even visible to more than a few - ask Ray Kurzweil, Ted Kaczynski, Bill Joy and Stephen Hawking what's coming. It's BIG! I mean, really, really, big. In a huge kind of way. Bigger than bold and capital letters. I wouldn't be surprised if there's almost no fighting. This isn't a minor Somalian 'police' incursion. This one is serious with 911 anger in the background. A minor level of conflict and a Blackhawk down isn't going to slow this one. Therefore, better to surrender quickly and be part of the new government and get in on the gravy train. Mqurice
