Thanks, Auttie. And what you said is spot on!

This forum is magic! =p

I posted that quote in June, Colby. It will never get old!

Tidied!

Friends come and go.

Enemies maybe forever.

I was thinking more on a personal level.

But since you brought it up; modern wars
are waged on Wall Street.

Japan and Germany are both more formidable today than ever,
and don't need a single bomb.

They have redefined the auto market in the US,
forcing us to build better cars.

They produce top electronic parts for computers, TVs,
and just about everything else.

German research into just about anything and everything is world class.

They have emerged as a financial giant with not maybe the largest economy,
but best managed.

Both of these countries warred against us for similar reasons,
expansion of territory and raw materials.

Now they are strong allies as traders.

War is truly obsolete except for the least advanced and educated.

BTW! In spite of the news, China is not the second largest economy
behind the US.
If you count the Eurozone, China is actually 3rd, behind the EZ.

(Ok my mom was the one that brought this up as she
sneered at Fox News financial report?.

High comedy for her. Bimbo actresses she claims. Hahahaha

Ok ok!

My dad enlightened me on the Wall street stuff.

This is more about them than me.

No matter who we are, we have preconceptions.

If you have a bad experience from a person, especially a minority,
you will be wary during future encounters.

That's typical defense.

But in some ways it's a two way street.

If you have a good experience, especially early on,
you may be able to look past bad experiences.

We are so influenced by image it's ridiculous.

No!
