The residual effects of VVV anywhere the Brits have colonized in the last 500 years is unmistakeable... You either get it or you don't... Shame on you if you cannot grasp or comprehend that very simple fact of Historic reality... Chas

I wondered whether you'd think along those lines, missing the point completely, and sure enough <Rockets to the moon are not for profit all those contractors I guess work for free and not at rates inflated for the government* ..* > Yes, the contractors do not work for free and they charge big heaps. Also the ocean is wet. Neither fact refutes my point. When Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hires people, of course those people are working for money. That's how they buy groceries. How can such things be so hard to understand? Normally it's because people don't want to understand when something is so obvious. I think you perhaps are being deliberately obtuse in your determination to continue your anti-Anglo mindset. I have no idea why you think I would think that: <ou think The Spanish crown wasn't looking for profit when she chartered Columbus and through their further shenanigans and duplicitous dealings ? > <the lone idea man may not be in primarily for profit... but the capital; providers certainly are.. and without them nothing happens eh ? > That depends. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is focused on giving away money, not accumulating it and making profits. Other investors require profits as part of their philanthropic investing [taking high risks which other investors won't do, in the hope of great benefits to people and the prospects of profits too if things go right]. Some investors want nothing but profits, with not a care in the world how they are obtained, who suffers or even whether what they do is legal or not. Not everyone can understand it BS: <Can I have some of what you are smoking > Mqurice
