<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't think it's that easy to differentiate
between the whole and the parts. I think Hamo was trying to say that in order
for a nation to advance economically, you only have to have a few parts of the
population speaking English. But nobody wants to be relegated to the non
English speaking majority. Everyone wants to belong to that elite group
that speaks English. Do you think it's possible to convince people
of this "erroneous premise"?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=+0><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=952461717-10012005>'</SPAN>The
sentence, "This entire notion is built on the erroneous premise that what is
good for the whole is good for all of the parts", should have read "This
entire notion is built on the erroneous premise that what is good for the
whole is good for each of its parts". <SPAN
