To: Valdas Anelauskas and friends on several mail lists Hello Valdas Anelauskas, Author of "Discovering America As It Is" I enjoyed my visit to your home page at URL <http://www.efn.org/~valdas/> and to the web site of Clarity Press at URL <http://www.bookmasters.com/clarity/> and I sincerely thank your Editorial Director, Diana G. Collier, and Swiss Citizen, Christoph Reuss, for bringing those URLs to my attention in their replies to my 99-09-19 post, "The ends of globalization." It seems that we share a common world view and a common opinion of the present condition and role of the U.S. in our evolving global society. My interest in the topic dates from 1953 when I discovered, during my on-the-job training, that the whole law was being applied to capital assets by our corporations while only 10/12ths of the whole law was being applied to human assets by our government. It is a vast subject, as you know, and once involved, no other topic can hold one's interest for very long. I notice an abundance of funding for research and publication of books on the outward signs of America's declining present condition, but no funding at all for research and publication on the century old systemic defect of omission in American public policy which became visible when the frontier closed, and remains uncorrected to this day. Since you are being well paid to paint the depressing picture of the U.S., perhaps you should balance the scales by doing some pro-bono research and publication on that systemic defect which is common to every industrial nation that fails to make an adequate investment in its developing human assets. Europe needs such research and publication more than the United States does,. Without it, Europe will revert to the condition it enjoyed between World War I and 1945. Some of my thinking on the topic may be found at the following URLs: <http://www.freespeech.org/darves/bert.html> <http://plaza.powersurfr.com/Usalama/economics.html> <http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/3142/IR/items/19990119WesBurtSustaina bleFuture.html> I have taken the liberty of adding your address to my copy list. Let me know if you want to be removed. Kind regards, WesBurt
