Where would we be? Economically devastated. This genie was let out of the bottle 80 years ago and we can adapt or die; it's simple economic evolution. But the answer to your question is easy: China would slow down their blistering growth, pushing some people back into the jungle to live off of it as they always have. But they'd find plenty of new customers. America on the other hand would implode: inflation would skyrocket, crime would skyrocket, riots would happen daily, most commerce would shut down, and that's the bodies and flies part. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:238519 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
