Hi Frank, In your comments and those of others here are some perceptual and semantic differences. I agree with you: in North America we had an early lead. My starting point was that from which we began to lose the lead, and the reasons the disparity began to appear. In rebuttal, I was going to post some of the mid-90's documents from Sweden (for instance) demonstrating that they had a handle on things conceptually, right from early days. But why bother? It's not really important. In everyone's comments, these differences appear in one form or another. Everybody is right. Regardless of causal and historical correctness in analyzing the present circumstances (and there are reams of such analyses), we can simply supercede the past with new policy, derived from political and/or governmental action. In some jurisdictions, that's what has been done. The range of opinions on how we got here can be compared to interviewing witnesses at a traffic accident. Everyone can agree on the outcome, but there's an astonishing variety of innocent (and not-so-innocent) views on how it happened. We're not a court. Ultimately, we want action, not disputation. Perhaps some will see this as an oversimplification - a Gordian Knot solution. So it may be. I accept everybody's disparate views as being correct in different ways, and mine as not encompassing all the realities. But does it matter? We have to get out of the box. Jim
