Hit the nail on the head with this one..accurate analogy and SO true. What once were two Western countries on a par, have now becomes poles apart in their diversity and culture-- have we become complacent here? Who do we blame for the shame?

Thank-you Dear Klm, How I well recall the time when the South African Rand was worth Two Dollars,The Greed has brought this Land to it's knees,Our so called leaders must bear the blame to their shame,Thank-you for bearing with me.
