Yesterday, I was swimming around in very gentle waves in the Pacific Ocean at Mount Maunganui and my surroundings were as beautiful as I have seen anywhere on the planet. I suppose it could have been improved if some dolphins had played around in the area, kawhai had been swimming in the waves too, some more flower gardens were blooming, more beautiful young women were strolling around in various states of enjoyment of the sun and sea, though the fairly empty beach made it feel like mine, with enough company that it wasn't eerie. It would have been nice to have some grandchildren playing around too, though then I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the contemplative pure sense of being. Hong Kong's economic freedom transposed to the financial system supporting my activity would be good too, but total Nirvana is something for another day. Imagining myself being so joyous in Hong Kong is impossible, even if tax was zero and freedom was total with no threat of becoming an involuntary organ donor. Perhaps later this century, when populations have dropped and pollution has ceased, Hong Kong could become a very nice place. Yes, 4 is about right. Freedom is buried under mountains of laws, regulations, permits, imposts, duties, quotas, licences, tariffs, taxes, restrictions and kleptocracy - they can't help themselves. Does a fish swim? Mqurice
