You may appreciate the relation to this discussion of these articles by
Peter Drucker:
http://drucker.cgu.edu/html/aboutdrucker/articles.htmI'm not ready to head back to Europe since most family members living there,
complain endlessly of the politics. Our own political climates seem far
more short-lived. If you don't like the weather, just wait a while. My
only fear is that we could become more like Europe through some of the
"shifts" described in Florida's article. New Zealand sounds nice!
