Have read a wide diversity of materials from many arms of many extremes since working part time in the Jr High library.

Have also had an easy time drawing out a diversity of individuals on what they think and believe.

And, was taught by probably the best librarian, archivalist, rare pamphlet, ephemera etc. collector in the business . . . that it's often the fringe groups and publications that identify a trend first and most accurately.

Otherwise, my sifting and sorting in terms of percentages is probably not a great deal different from yours.

It still appears you have much to learn about foreign publications.

But if you've had your head in dark places avoiding them, I can understand your lack of experience with them.

I would say, 15 years in Taiwan is far too much time away from the United States of America. You've been de-Americanized and must become acclimatized to this great land. Someday, you might even wake up and begin to better appreciate the freedom and liberty living in the USA affords you.

For me, a short stint in SE Asia many years ago and in more recent times, dealing directly in foreign markets, has taught me, how fortunate I was to have been born in this land of freedom and liberty. I wouldn't take a foreign post, for all the money in the world.
