"Down with Anglos. Hooray for Latinos." ElM, your envy is showing. Remember the seven deadly sins which are not really religious, they are for personal survival. You are treating people as fungible with groups having a "natural size" economically. Wealth is a function of intellect and while it's fashionable to pretend that all humans have equal brainpower, or at least equal prospects for brain power at birth, that is not the case. I have observed that my brain has very limited dimensions and I do better by backing people with better brains than I have so that we can do symbiotic wealth creation. I put up the money, they put up the brains and we invent CDMA/OFDMA for mobile cyberspace, rockets into 3D space for communication satellites, Wi-Fi cyberspace delivery, and cyberspace itself [being the 0s and 1s which zip around the networks]. Meanwhile, back in the jungle, naked Aztecs dig for gold, coal, iron,and kill each other to gain ascendancy and control of found wealth and agricultural wealth. There is no "natural size" in the sense you mean. You should read Smart Fraction Theory on "natural size" which actually gives predictions which match reality, unlike "The Science" of Greenhouse Effect Doomsters who tell a computer to tell them that there is global warming then scream for money to help them save the world from the catastrophe which their computer has told them is coming. They need more money now, and LOTS of it. Switzerland, Singapore, Luxembourg, Monaco, Hong Kong, Japan are not returning to their "natural size" even if exports are down. Wealth in the modern world is a function of intellect rather than population. Even geopolitical power is not simply a matter of numbers in the tribe - which is why Kim Il Sung wants nukes. Mqurice

Brazilian Helio Costraneves beats Kiwi Scott Dixon in the Indy 500 racing due to a pit stop wheel nut replacement mess up. nzherald.co.nz So it seems that Brazilians are not yet out of the human race. Maybe there is hope for them. They need more Protestant work ethic and teleological purpose instead of consuming ethanol in enormous quantities and partying as a standard cultural norm. Mqurice

Protestant Work Ethic in action: Susan Boyle with a hilarious finish as the people owning the show cut to the chase and go for the cash. youtube.com The sub-plots in the whole thing are the attraction. Any number of people can sing as well. But she certainly puts her heart into it. For those who have been living in a cave, here's the first part which got the interest going: youtube.com It's human life in action. Yay for Susan Boyle. Mqurice

Hogging is what was the downfall of the economies that have the Anglos' mindset. I tend to concur. ...and it will have the same ultimate impact on those cultures who would emulate that behaviour.
