Are We Willing to Die for the Mass?

The Saudi men who DO go to universities DON'T work on the wells as that is not honorable work.

I ran into the same attitude in Thailand. I was assigned to an R&D outfit that did testing of military equipment for suitability for use in the tropical environment. We hired a bunch of recent Thai engineering graduates to assist us. One day I was out in the field with one of my assistants. I picked up a piece of equipment and started to carry it to where we needed it. My assistant picked up another piece, but he remarked that his older brother, also an engineering graduate, wouldn't do that. He said his older brother would insist on a laborer to carry it. I wouldn't have entrusted that delicate equipment to a laborer.

Amazing, that attitude towards work. Well, Thailand ain't America, is it?

The Saudis, the Bedu, were always some of God's poorest people. They have no worries any more. Their future is secure.
