I made a mistake and apologize for it but not the message I sent. I was talking about China. Is Singapore the old China I was talking of. The China where current American, and so many other investment dollars, is being made even by Singapore? Singapore is doing fine. Big China needs help and we're all rushing in to help for some good and bad reasons. The good is because we can make some money there as we can't here or there because of the lousy economic conditions. The bad is, I don't know exactly but part of it is because we're going to loose jobs here? That never has been a concern in this country as we have done this time and again because of the BOTTOM LINE and, occassionaly, corporate greed. If we really want to get into it, let's take a look at sending the Tyco, World Com, Enron, and Stewart team over there. Let's not play innocent here as Singapore didn't do it on it/their own. Someone helped it out at one point and cost us here lots of jobs. This stuff is about cash - pure and simple. Personally, but for the cane punishment I probably would incur, using my own cane I imagine, I'd love to live there. As for Big China, I don't have a problem helping but I don't like the kidney harvesing program their but I have non to be shot in the back of the head for so I have no problem This is about money whether Singapore, America, Britain, or the little rock on which Brian lives. Let's not be dumb ass about this. Again and, finally, I was talking about our new "business" ventures in China. We can take this "national" and personal pride just so far then it comes down to profits for whomever is involved. Martha and Kathy Lee, are you still looking for sound investments without cheating? MoonMan can just be so sorry then he gets real?
