[-ggg, can never underestimate the creativity of some Americans<g> Actually, we might just be learning some new skills from the Orient for copying good ideas and putting them to use.

Ten years ago, while in Washington State and after observing logs being loaded on an ocean-going barge, I was told that the logs were destined for a Japanese factory ship that was located 3 miles at sea where Japanese labor would turn the logs into plywood for immediate return to American markets at American prices.

Very profitable way of doing business.
