Robert; I read your reference to "The Robber Barons" with delight. That book has come back to memory time and again over the last year. Living in Malaysia I find many parallels to the business and economic behavior I have read about and see in Asia compared to what I understand about the emergent years of the U.S. economy. I also see many parallels in social behavior here compared to what I can recall from my youth. Your thinking is very worthy of closer examination if, for no other reason, then to give us pause and make us realize that expectations can be very high (too high) when you are sitting on the top. On another note: this may be intrinsic to the opportunity that Asia will undoubtedly continue to be IMO. Every time I see a clerk write a hand written receipt I think of how that represents an opportunity. Best, Stitch
