<most of them will never have the opportunity to be truly creative (and entrepreneurial) living under totalitarian or dictatorial regimes..> To say the least! You've got that right!! Maybe even a triple !!! Even democratic governments can be quite suffocating of anyone who steps out of line, which is what anyone who wants to do something new has to do to achieve it. Creativity is a delicate human trait, easily crushed by the traditional dominance hierarchy barbarians found in all societies to a greater or lesser extent [usually greater]. In NZ, creativity is increasingly stifled. By comparison with other countries, the USA is a beacon of hope in a blighted world, but even there, there is plenty of suffocation, with, for example, research on stem cells stymied for political and superstitious reasons.http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A44856-2003Oct30&notFound=true Mqurice
