Mohan, welcome to the club of "erringhumanity", I am a member in good standing thereof. As for socialism, in my farming days, part of my "required" indoctrination was actually Marxism, and after having read his (Marx, I mean) big Tomes (Das Capital), I came to the undesired (by the indoctrinators) conclusion that all these thousands of words could have been simply summarized in one sentence: "You'll never get rich from your own work", or in Clintonian parlance "It is the value added, stupid" (g).

Indonesia --->Anecdotal dialogue with Indonesian I go to a Chinese restaurant where an Indonesian cashier works. I have been going there for over 3 years. I use to ask the lady once in a while "How are things in Indonesia" and "how is Suharto". She used to reply" "Things are going very well, the economy is doing great" and "Suharto he is so corrupt but at least the economy is doing fine" A Couple of days ago I visited the restaurant again and asked the same two questions. Her replies: -HOw things are going in Indonesia? In a frantic mode, she says "Chaos!!" "Suharto is ruining us!!!" Then I ate my delicious General Chicken.<g> In the Barrons Roundtable Jimmy Rogers stated that Indonesia will not exist as a country in five years... Interesting... George
