Hello Dave, <<You think America's Puritan heritage will ever reassert itself?>> I think America is a grand experiment, and the experiment is still continuing. I think the America of today is a very different construct from the America of yesteryear. One could now begin to put together a case that, gradually but surely, America, even with all its technology and very high standard of living, is taking on the characteristics of Philippines or Mexico. One could not start to put together this case as recently as 10-15 years ago. This is not necessarily a negative. It is simply a development of the experiment. Chugs, Jay
