Very good in fact. But there is a sort of paradox that exists between
the free culture we export and the proprietary culture our exports are
actually based on. There is a nice balance there, but still, think now
of all those "truth-based" jobs that are getting
"outsourced" to other entities -- particularly the ethnic, commercial,
and political ones.
