Shipping out Marmite to the Middle East

The intelligence of anyone in control is now in question - Misguided Communist ideology - Greed-driven Fascism - any ism you care to think of. Of course we need a civilized society though our western definition of that is open to some interpretation. Who is right? de-Bono would say he is or like you to say that you are and everyone else is wrong. While I admire De-Bono ideas he does seem to be a bit of a control freak - witness his statement that the Aborigines have been playing the didgeridoo wrong for 3000 years. (You will have to read the whole article to get the absurdity of this statement). Unfortunately Mr de-Bono has become very rich, based on such ludicrous statements, which is depressing. SO many people became very rich charging the US military $500 for simple hammers because of the complexity of the ordering processes. Now you could not get away with this today so the rip-offs have been propagated into the complexities of software provision. Functions which are so simple to do on computers that the source code for them is often available free on web-sites is supplied to companies at huge prices because the suppliers rely on the fact the the people procuring the software ofetn have no real knowledge of what is and is not possible and how much effort is required to do the work. STOP IT.
