<<All you say is correct>> ... You are most kind. <<So, is HK's wonderful financial system a product of idealism, high thinking, and liberty or is it built on a bed of corruption?>> ... The former, according to the Heritage Foundation, and no more corrupt than anywhere else, by definition and necessity to be the freest and most successful society in the galaxy. <<What will happen to HK once it serves its purpose?>> ... HK will then become the freest and the wealthiest place in the known universe. <<It is decidedly not an Asian Switzerland because it cannot fight if it ever has to>> ... Why fight? Who needs to invade us for our oil? We can outsource defense to the PLA 2nd Artillery rocketeers, or pay some USA president to do our bidding. <<If its terrific approach to capitalism is ever threatened, it will bow because it cannot do anything else>> .. No need to bow; for we can walk on water. If there is a threat, it is from within, and that is why we keep resisting the one person one vote universal sufferage system that will only succeed to cost us our economic freedom. Should the worst happen, many of us will exercise our option, and relocate money at the speed of light, and paper over our residency at the opening of a drawer. We can do so because we are sovereign individuals answerable to no nation-state, faith affiliation, nor, for that matter, do we recognize any authority except our own self.
