T.R. What I can't understand is how can country that has such a rich contribution to the arts and for that matter science, be so backward still? I guess it's the affects of repression that still bother the country. They have gotten the freedom, but will not pay for it, since they do not trust the government because of the past. Greg

OT RUSSIA <<Maybe the above is their problem, too much vodka... >> ...Somehow I doubt capitalism, or anything else will correct that mess in the near future. It is helpful to learn from the extremes sometimes. Russia shows what happens if you cut taxes so far that government cannot function. (I know, technically they didn't cut taxes, they just never got organized enough to collect them). Still when I hear from the Newt and Lott camps that we need to cut taxes until the bureaucracy crumbles, I always wonder who or what will jump up to fill the power vacuum before the government is right-sized. TP (Who pays more taxes than a Russian village but wouldn't trade places with them).
