..... the exception is Argentina,.... Over there, they rob with an Italian accent. one of my favorite bon mots is 'what is the definition of an Argentinian?' 'he is an Italian who speaks Spanish thinks he is English and acts like he is French' I'm sure I told this to another poster who sounded an awful lot like you <g> On a serious note, I agree that dollarization, either de facto or de jure, is the eventual solution. This external discipline is the only real way to force corruption and inefficiency out of the system. The biggest obstacle, as you indicate, will be 'nationalistic' elements who are not interested in allowing the average citizen to escape from their loving grasp.
