Regarding Stossel's list of countries that allowed the use of RGBH, I recall
seeing South Africa and some mideast countries that have become rick due to
oil. I thus wouldn't say that "all were Third World countries." For that
matter, I would not put Venezula and Mexico in the same category as, say,
Chad and Ethiopia.
