Bosco, Actually, at a personal level, I am in great shape with an exit plan to return to the states sooner rather then later which has always been the plan. My reference to Maslow's theory was simply to baseline the common ground. I see evidence all the time of shared hopes, dreams, pursuits, fundamental beliefs, etc. The problem is that these do not suit the politician's purpose so you get, what you so aptly put as, the tribal drums, which, as you also aptly point out, may beat as loud in America as anywhere else. Seems disinformation and dissembling are the primary tools of the politicians. For example on a local show last night Mahatir asked the rhetorical question: why it was that the West's prescription for Asian countries was higher interest rates when exchange rates and markets fell, while the prescription for the U.S., when markets fell, was to lower interest rates as has been called for by many. It is an undeniably appealing bit of disinformation from a crafty politician. <<So, the question, how free is free?>> Exactly. ^5 Best, Stitch
