I can't help but wonder how you managed to remain so insulated from life, the news, and general reading as not to have rubbed shoulders with the word meanings, tool names (based on you dad's reported jobs) and administrative stuff (especially as we've all lived with the administrative stuff.) After all, you come across as inquisitive so I can't begin to understand why it is these things got past you without notice. > I've figured out some the problems they have. Which "they"? The individuals posting here or the Brits or the USG?

The Chinese appreciate the value of automation in manufacture of electronics for example since it's the only way to provide reliably good quality.

You have this curious obsession with what you think ppl are 'allowed' to do. Have you not considered that they may actually have freedom of action ? Graham |
