I am not envious of anyone. While I have no bias against India and some against China--I say as a nationality (not in a humanitarian vein) screw them both and everyone else--USA is No. 1 in my little world, and if someone can spot 'global trends' and bourgeoning markets for the next 50 years--well,act on it--theorists don't seem to pay the bills where I live.

I get sick of hearing we are going to be speaking Chinese in 20 years, cmac thinks we should model ourselves after some commune in Argentina (poetic license there c) and the like--bull****--every indication I have (and I do get to travel so don't go there) is that there is no standard of living anywhere else as high as ours. And if I am wrong, then I sure must be a simpleton because I don't have much to complain about and my friend in Bhopal would sell his kidneys to come here.

JD, JD, JD . . . . .

Yeah, I know, poetic license. Well Ima bout to revoke yours.

Yes people want to come here. I don't blame them. It looks real groovy. I've been poor an I been rich and rich is better. In the short run.

Don't look now but China's attempts to be like us are leading to major pollution problems. And with their huge population, most of whom are dependent on small ag., that's a very serious problem.

We're getting rich and we're getting fat. So fat that we have to hire Mexicans to do the hard work for us.

The good book says, "In the sweat of thy face shall ye eat bread." I think they may be onto something there.

America: get to sweatin.'

NOW, pissants. (poetic license)
