Monkey see, monkey do: <how come all the gizmos rolled out are copied everywhere within a short time?> People are strong on copying and short on creativity. It's even in our genes. They unwind, copy, paste in constant cloning. Most attempts at creativity are mutants worthy only of elimination in the red in tooth and claw jungle of invention. That's why Chinese all look and think alike and why voting is unnecessary there. Most countries have too many mutations for everyone to think the same as they do in China. That's why the USA is so much more successful than China - it's full of mutant people and mutant ideas. Some of them are good. Where there is no mutation, there's no progress. Unfortunately, there are some mutations in progress now which do not look like a great success and more like a great failure. I hasten to add that with the advent of thinking, the randomness of the mutation process can be supplanted with intellectual boot-strapping without going through the carnage and cruelty of biological sorting of good ideas and genes from bad. Mutations are not an endangered species, despite the excellent efforts in China to eliminate them. Mqurice
