....the opinions, heritage, age, experience etc...of the West mean nothing to me ....only HOW LONG YA BEEN THERE V. HOW LONE WE BEEN HERE!!!...Nothing more nothing less.

The opinions, heritage,age,experience, LOS etc...of the east mean nothing to me..(well actually, they mean a lot to me, but I am trying to stay in the same vein)......only HOW LONG YA BEEN HERE V. HOW LONG WE BEEN HERE!!!! Nothing more nothing less. And the last time anybody measured it is the exact same 4 years 7 months.
Actually, if you would read the Nicolau award, not only did he consider what you gave up, but why you gave it up, when you gave it up, who you gave it to, and how that supported the West's case. What you appear to be saying is, Nic did not get it right because he would not allow us to gain from our new found partners, what we had to give up in the past.
