Look here! We're on the outside looking in now.
 
Who would have thought we could go from policy maker and world diplomatic leaders to the bastard son in a few short years?

I don't believe anything I read in the Washington ComPost.

So? With the exception of China, who seems to be figuring out on their own that free-market capitalism is a good idea, it's about time some of the rest of these nations stood on their own two feet. I wish them luck.

How does this make us a "bastard son"?

Oh.... I forgot you're a card-carrying member of the "everything is our fault" club. :rolleyes:

China has two systems. One for foreigners, one for Chinese Nationals. The govt. still controls what they can own and with whom they can do business. Hardly capitalist at all.

I never said they had it completely worked out. They certainly do not.

I just meant that they've taken a couple of steps onto the right path.
