Re: japan
Makes you wonder what? You do know we are NO longer at war with Japan. I'm pretty sure it was in all the papers.
Now that I think about it, NOBODY talks about how their diet is controlled by farmers.

My creativity is controlled by nagging self doubt. I did date a Japanese girl for a while in college, and I must say she had a positive effect on my creativity while we were going together.

The Chileans have a stranglehold on my winter grape consumption, but what can I do? I don't even want to know where three quarters of the world's bauxite is mined.

Re: japan
I admit to being a huge fan of wierd Japanese game shows, you know where couples wearing velcro jump suits have to leap across a small body of water and land on a bullseye dart board. That's cool.

Re: japan
I still do not understand the original question. ???
Are you pointing out the Japanese create most electronics? if so, they are not controlling it. They dominate it by being the best. Consumers control it by purchasing items they like. No product in the world can be forced on the consumer - We like, we buy lots, more get made and better. We don't want, we don't buy, product goes away.
Pretty simple math :-/

Re: japan
yeah, cba.... 'splain yourself. I have a feeling what you meant and what you said are two different things. Because the "root" of our creativity is something within each of us. The technology behind the tool we choose to express that may come from elsewhere. But if this particular tool was not around, our creativity would simply manifest in some other way. We would have no choice in that, some of us. It is like breathing.

Re: japan
Were it not the Japanese, someone else would make those things (according to the theory that when the time is ripe, an invention is going to happen some place - sometimes several places at the same time).
Boy, this thread is on the verge of turning political. Were it not the Americans.......

I'll see your ???
...and raise you a ???
When confused I like to quote our greatest modern philosopher, ...Ralph from The Simpsons. When Ralph's mind is baffled by the world around him, he simply states, "My cats breath smells like catfood."
I couldn't agree more, Ralph. ....I couldn't agree more.
Now let's put this thread to sleep.
