So whats so bad about Japan not having oil or coal? They are the leading electronic coutry by far. They make the best hybrid electric cars.
Indeed. The main reason I don't think China is all it's cracked up to be is the fact that it's all built on coal power stations, oil, gas, fossil fuels basically. I don't think there's enough to sustain any lasting dominance. Japan will do well, I think, because of its tyechnological advancement, and we will too if the recession means we get rid of the old polluting, fossil fuel industries, like Jaguar for example.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G.

and he supposedly retired at the age of 37 !!!!
But the question is: would he have been successful if the "bet" had not been publicised and people had not been swayed by his suggestion.
A better question is: should sho*te like this be allowed to have power over the rest of us;)"there are some persons in this World who, unable to give better proof of being wise, take a strange delight in showing what they think they have sagaciously read in mankind by uncharitable suspicions of them"(Herman Melville)0
