Normally, for better or for worse, everything originating in the states [eventually] makes it over here in Europe. Either this Joe guy is still crossing the Atlantic or else I've missed something. Oops...I coined that term intending it as a play on "Joe Six-Pack" (J6P) which is often used in the advertising community to describe the average male TV audience. As long as we don't "export" our politically-correct feel-good educational system in which "everyone is above average" (Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegone), you have nothing to fear in Europe. Thank goodness for all the bright immigrants that continue to be attracted to this country. My 97 year old mother just saw an ER MD yesterday who emigrated from Ghana. Unfortunately their motivation only lasts about one generation before we completely corrupt their kids in our educational system. Joe HT will believe anything the advertisers tell him. Unfortunately most advertisers do not tell the truth and Joe is left believing his "astonishing ultimate unparalleled Masterpiece" is actually worth $11,000 when it is actually just another mediocre performer in a long series of the same, albeit with gobs of flash, whistles and bells...but that's what appeals to Joe. Sad. 73, Bill W4ZV _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |
