Oh, I know he's not finished. You know I was thinking of that story out of the Australian press about the Thai millionaire who went bust and who is trying to building himself up again... by means of his sandwich shops. That story and it's appearance ehre on our foruum was worth a great deal to me. It showed the incredible human side of Asia... and what people are going through. Years ago I went to an Indian university 100 miles north of Calcutta with students who were so poor they had one pair of rubber rain sandals. People like Lawrence don't bother me. What bothers me is that people like this, like Lawrence, can't seem to see the human cost of what's happening in Asia.... they think that they are here and the here is doing fine and that's what's important. God bless America. God bless the dollar. I'm not lookiig at Asia because I want people to get broken up and crushed. I am looking at Asia because I want the hundreds of millions of people in Asia, who have gotten shafted by their own governments and the colonial governments that were the predecessor governments to the people in control today (make no mistake the same old fix is in)... to have the money to have a choice in their lives. When that money starts to come to the burgeoning middle classes of Asia there will be incredible opportunity. For them. For us. What the Asia foruum is... is simply a chance to see what's happening in Asia outside of the controlled mass media press. If alot of what is happening is negative at the moment then it does no good saying "Hey, everything is great. Paul Matthews is making 89% on his Korean positons... when the reality is my great friends in Korea are in deep trouble. I want to know when they might get out of trouble. The date. The time. The sleazy deals that the Korean leadership is presently putting together, etc. etc. Sorry to go on. You have to look at the bad in Aisa to sort out the good. It's there. It's there. My very best to you and happy new year, Clark
