<<Reading a book on "El camino" - St Jacob´s trail.>> Does this book teaches about Germany's economic history? It makes for interesting reading, I can tell you :-) "An American firm, it is said, will devise a new machine, and an export of the machine itself, or of its products, will set in. Then some German will buy a specimen and reproduce the machine in his own country...not only will the exports cease but the machine itself will be operated in Germany by low-paid labor; and the articles made by its aid will be sent back to the U.S. Shoe machinery and knitting machinery have been cited." Taussig 1915, Cited in Cooper, Richard, . "Technology and U.S. Trade: A Historical Review." In Technology and International Trade, Washington D.C. National Academy of Engineering, 1971.

DJ, It's that I like writing "Kaczynski". What a name! He probably spent a lifetime of frustration and anguish dealing with it. See how Jay Chen for example is a nice, simple, Don't Worry Be Happy name. Winn is a winner. Even Janko isn't all that bad. But Kaczynski. He'd see a conspiracy behind every Bush. Also, he was extreme and engineers like examining boundary conditions to test reality. Actually, I think there is an objective pace and strength to human developments outside my own experience. Yes, there is also the 'getting older' effect where time speeds up. But it's true that for 1000s of years, one century wasn't a heck of a lot different from previous centuries, other than the normal cycles of life. Now, we have a never before, hugely burgeoning population to 6 billion, with vast arrays of technological, social, and other developments. It really is different from ever before. It's not just in my imagination. Mqurice
