Hello Maurice, <<What if the other 5 billion of us don't think it's a good idea to be ruled by that silly minority?>> I think it depends on what else the other 5 billion are concerned about at the time of voting or lusting afterwards, don't you think so? In any case I suspect we will live to see the voting day, as it approaches day by day. <<Hong Kong is top dog in the Heritage Foundation's measure of economic freedom ... Note that New Zealand is not far down the list. Which dismays me because we are FAR from economically free>> Why did I know you were going to raise that point? Astute anticipation perhaps, or just a lucky guess. I suspect, but you know, that NZ is so far below HK on the scale of freedom and dynamism that all comparison discussions are most likely pointless, as would a comparative discussion of the allures of Tora Bora vs the backwater of Bora Bora achamchen.com <<Americans will be surprised to see how far down the list the vaunted "freedom" of the USA leaves it>> ... they often are, since they are too busy doing other chores. Chugs, Jay
