Third class countries polemics

From:=?UNKNOWN?Q?Agust=EDn?= Venzano

Dear netters: Please read how many postings have been forwarded to me
replying to my complain on something I've read in a recent Digest. But first
take a short break to think what do you all live for, what are your highest
values in life, what is the truth, what do you do for others' benefit...what
is God expecting from all of you..., what kind of legacy will you leave for
others after your death....

Sincerely yours

Agustin Jose Venzano Halliburton

I don't recall EVER referring to the Argentine Republic as "Third World" so
you should save the diatribe for whomever it was that did and leave the rest
of us out of it.  I do need to shed some light on a few things for you
though.  Your assumption that researchers in the capitolist pigdog USA have
unlimited funds is WRONG.  Your assumption that only researchers in your
country sacrifice and perform miracles is WRONG.  Like most histotechs here,
I live from check to check with very little room for extravagance, so, don't
hate us because we are all rich, hate us because we live in a country of the
people, for the people, and by the people because THAT is why you should
truly be envious.

later.
