I'm an slave, by your definition. I slave here building wireless networks. Without Elmat and countless other slaves, there won't be progress. Non-slaves, in the toher hand, they thing that money grows in trees. See the Belgium strikes. See the Germans poltics embroglio. See the strike at Shell right now. All people thinking that they can live off the work of the slaves. But we are changing the rules of the game. >>Such an attitude can be found in Brazil.<< How many markets fo 180 million people woth USD5K income per capita exists in the world? Not many. You want to sell your stuff there? Yes? Ok, lets negotiate how we are going to do business. Oh, you don't accept the terms? We are going to make generics. >>Brazil is stinking poor.<< But not for long. because my generation came to power and we are now changing the rules of the game. >>I can understand why.<< But you seen not to realize that: it is a law of nature. And against laws of nature, there's nothing one can do about. It is just to seat around a table and negotiate. How many times you saw a Brazilian with gun boating to jack up our position? We just have power of persuasion.

MQ, you said that >>I have always wanted to be an inventor, and have invented. I have some more inventions under development.<< And I know your investions are energy-related. And I always told you you should have emigrated to Brazil, become a bandido there and people would appreciate your inventions. Lost of biofuels and ethanol minds thinking in flipping... That because there the land is fertile for inventors. For people who wants to flip and do things differently and make money. Now compare you in the 'civilized' NZ! You've been all along in the wrong country. You should have moved to Brazil and become bandido there. You would have street with your name, school or whatever. You wouldn't die forgotten. Because we may be bandido but not ungrateful!!
