That may the case with some technical skills, but even then I would not<br>
doubt that there are technically skilled people in the South. But in<br>
policy that requires an understanding of more that just the technical<br>
details, there is no way the the north understands or is more skilled<br>
than the South. As for any of the other skills like organizational,<br>
economic or law, North, South East or West, seem to be equally skilled<br>
and experienced, especially when it comes to specialized knowledge about<br>
these things in their regions.<br>
