   What you didn't "Observe" -- you lack of reading   
   comprehension -- was the fact that Roman had   
   the technology to power machinery & fuel an   
   industrial revolution. It never happened.

   Your standard idiocy.   
      
   It didn't happen in most of the world. They needed   
   western industrialization transplanted to their   
   cultures. They never developed it themselves.   
      
   Maybe you recall the subject line? Hello?  China?
