Romanians immigrating to the US are more American than the American themselves. Haim this eventually pass. It is just that guys who immigrate to a country, which they start to love, (and the US is a good country, with strengths that made a prime place to acquire more people) and are engaged heartfuly with its values, they become more of the kind found there than the average. But next generation will be different. I tried to explain this concept of a the contrbution an immigrant makes to Dolinar yesterday but he didn't take it to easy. I know of some Americans who, despite the fact they praise they country they would immigrate to Mexico at the first hint of a better deal. Which I find extremely healthy for thre world over. The more we have this movement of people, the less chances of a catastrophe we would have, the less people would suspect people from afar.

Hello Haim, <<Jay why in this world do you think I read all what you write ?>> … is this a trick question:0? I do not know. Perhaps because BBR is a fun thread where no one takes themselves too seriously, knowing full well that a icky denouement is just around the corner:0) <<Until now I had no problems buying from China but you just made it to think about it twice before buying>> Seriously, Haim, now there is still the luxury of ‘think … twice’, but as the march of history continues and reversion to the mean transpires, eventually thinking will neither be required nor possible. Think about it for just a few seconds, using the framework of a X-Y axis that forms a cross, where the X is labeled from left to right ‘chaotic US … stable US’ and the Y axis is labeled from bottom to top ‘chaotic China … stable China’. Now you are to pencil in a dot in any of the four possible quadrants, representing the kind of world you want to live in. FWIW, I think these two articles are balanced and therefore helpful: Message 19462587 “Opportunity or threat?” Message 19462590 “Sleepless nights for many manufacturers” <<In any case mission accomplished>> … please do not mind me. Once every so often, I like to step through Maurice’s cabbage patch, rummage through CB’s thoughts, disturb ACF Mikes study, and trample across your backyard. To reach across cyber space and touch someone :0) The resulting blowback is useful for my figuring of the state of the socio-econo-political markets. Chugs, Jay
