> I would rather live in a "poor" Japan than in a "rich" America any day of the week. You can't put a price on peace of mind and the general atmosphere of civility and willingness to come together for a common cause.

It's not like you have only these two choices. You can live in fast developing countries as well, or even Europe can be a fine place to live depending on your location and you wages.

I love the north of Europe. My blood and family are there. It is the only other place in the world where rational minds combine with a long, distinguished history of building on success. I hope we will find a way to share between east and west the hard lessons of our past!
