off topic for Jumper only- GE- gave me light when I was a young boy- I remember an American engineer who put that plant in my small town back in 1957- I have nothing but indebtedness what GE gave me- Jumper do you know what is living without electricity- come with me I will show you what has US compniaes done by building Dams for us- back in 60's we could not produce food for enough for 60 million- we never stopped multiplying- we use to have 50,000 deaths from floods in winters we use to die of lack of water, in summer as Himalyan snow melted excess of water- we got hold of our natural resources thanks to MCD and Bob Mcnamara of World bank again an institution designed and made by Americans-we constructed two largest earthen dams we are now feeding 120 million people- we have electricity and we are not dying of Typhiods- Malaria- Have you seen a case of Typhiod- it just drains you and kills you- my child suffered from it and I know it- his life was saved from fourth genration antibiotics researched and produced by Abbot labs. Don't ever belittle the contributions- just water borne diseases alone which were rampant are now been able to overcome by importing cheap water purifiers - infant mortality has been cut to half. This was our live out of 1000 Ike's born 180 could not survive then today 1000 Ikes only 70 die - infany mortality rate is cut to half- don't ever talk to me about poverty - I will live in it within two weeks- US and its sucess is the only hope these 4 billion people of the earth have.

Jumper How can you attack these great corporations? Just because every day you see another article about court cases where they are accused of bribing more officials in governments all over the world or are suing their own whistle blowing employees to set an example or are initiating SLAPP suits against individuals who exercise their first amendment rights to the inconvenience or embarrassment of the corporation?!!!! And don't forget Nestle which, once upon a time, initiated one of the most successful ad campaigns ever wherein they got African mothers to switch from breast milk to the Nestle supplement, even though it was never intended to be a replacement, only a supplement. Very successful campaign, only trouble was tens of thousands of babies died. The mothers for quite a long time, not knowing the cause of death, would leave the remaining cans of the supplements at the grave sites, like flowers, to sustain them. Larry
