www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/20/news/china.phpI thought this article was interesting. I won't take up the bandwidth by posting the whole thing, but it seems that they are having some problems as well - not everything is as "rosy" there as some would believe. 30% of recent college graduates are unemployed, and the population is aging rapidly - even more rapidly than ours, with fewer replacements. China is rapidly approaching a problem caring for the elderly, and with what they have done with childbirth I fear their solution may be, for lack of a better term, a holocaust.

God ol' Godless communism. Relying on the government to take care of you will never work, in China, the U.S., or anywhere else.
Yes, Woody, I imagine when the Chinese nursing homes get full, the staff will be visiting the syringe closet quite often.

A haunting statement. This crisis isn't unique to China either, our Social Security system is about to take a huge hit, and it won't get any better unless it's fixed very soon. Time to take the Golden Parachute away from Congress so that it will get fixed.

Time to take the Golden Parachute away from congress. Now that is an idea, but how, they voted it in, they have to vote it out. I can not see that happening although it would be nice. The losers is going to be the workers and taxpayers that have and will pay for their parachute. We may end up eating cat food, while they eat steak. Course if you can hunt and fish you may eat good to. That is of course if they do not take our guns. Well we still may end up with archery equipment.

Well, change a couple of words in HB 1022 from 'firearm' or 'gun' to 'weapon', and that may not be safe either.
Add to that the fact that many have cited a bow as the 'assasins silent weapon of choice' . .
It isn't even just about guns in many circles.
They want it all banned, period.
Some of these people have no agenda other than the attempt to ban free will itself.

Time to take the Golden Parachute away from congress. Now that is an idea, but how, they voted it in, they have to vote it out. It's called the referendum vote, they voted it in but we can take it away from them if that's what we want and vote for it in large enough numbers. We can also permanently strip them of the right to vote themselves a raise whenever they feel like it too if we feel like it. The referendum vote is the last true freedom we have as citizens, and oddly enough the only one that they've never threatened or tried to curtail. |
