hello snowshoe, i understand from USA-originated NGO visitors that China has no live fish in its rivers

but that chinese babies put up for adoption are amongst the physically and mentally healthiest of adoption babies in the world

one of thoes two above sentences is more accurate than not, and yet they both create an impression about the society that gave rise to the describers and the society described

truth, fiction, improbabilities and such

especially in view of the stories of all the courageous doctors who stayed on station during sars episode on the mainland and not quite the same tales with taiwan doctors, which is not explained by wealth gap, because hk doctors, wealthier than those of taiwan, also stayed on station

ask yourself, can your sentence be pervasively true, mostly true, or even significantly true, and still leave a functioning society?

answer, no.

since the society is functioning, better each day, and so what your sentence describes must be false.

a few articles in such, of all things, NYT, WP, WSJ, do not make reality. they are just and only tales.

if the state is as the NYT/WP/WSJ describes, then there would be lots of factory workers going for Chinese medicine training or even western medicine education, thus evening out the demand/supply curves; no?

one thing i do know, that the last 30 days of a man's life in the US can cost somebody half a million dollars, and then he dies. So, he got treated, he is bankrupt, were it not for somebody, or everybody, paying the tab, and then he dies. Is this a pervasive state? I hope not, I doubt if it is, but I have no doubt that the trend is pointing that way, and then it will stop, by the heavy hand of math. But is this stuff teotwawki is made of? hardly.

Chugs, j
