Let the sheep be sheep. The wolves must also eat. China is offering up great opportunities. They are where the US was in the days of the industrial revolution. The only plus is that they won't have any unions to come in a screw it all up by paying people $38.50 an hour to put a screw in a piece of tin with a pnuematic drill. I'm not much for supporting communism as I'm a proud patriot much thankful for my grandfathers D-Day sacrifice, but the economic opportunity is obvious.

I guess that goes to good content written well. Something all of us copywriters hold near and dear. I think your comments on the Chines markets are spot on. Naturally as a direct marketer I'm thinking about how to export American Direct Response Marketing Systems into China as a tool for marketing goods and services. Naturally I'm sure that there are subtle and not-so-subtle adaptations that need to be made to the classic two-step marketing process, but wondered if you (or anyone in your network) was seriously looking at the Chinese market (as I am) and had any proverbial words of wisdon to share.

The Marketing Sherpa charade annihilates their own credibilty. Why do idiots think they can keep fooling people forever. My mother used to say that "you can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time". I had crossed Sherpa off my list of sources light years ago. Can't wait for the enlightenment re the new world order. Keep up the good work. Many thanks. Good Morning John,
