CB, TJ is anti-USA, though more polite than Yiwu the Mad who is more rabid than Pavlov's dogs when it comes to the demise of the USA and the glories of the Fatherland [or Motherland - I forget which it is [usually the fatherland I think, when xenophobia and megalomania are concerned]]. China is full of mindless clones who all think the same [which seems paradoxical] and venerate the wonderful party bosses in Beijing. They see themselves as a variety of worker ant, who are endlessly happy with whatever is served up to them. According to TJ and Yiwu the Mad anyway.

Which is, of course twaddle. Check out how joyfully happy North Koreans are in their goose-stepping precision and colourful grand rallies in honour of the beloved leader and the eternal paradise he has created for them. And anyone who disagrees will not be heard from any time soon, so, ipso facto, everyone does agree. <Those farmers rioting in China, why, don't give them another thought. >

My favourite scenes were from the 50th celebrations in China, with silly Jiang Zemin parading in his limo, calling Sieg to the massed crowds, and they called back Heil. It reminded me of a "rally the troops" Nuremberg rally.

<<The underclass always loots when the lights go out and the cops are busy ... >>

... not true, and certainly not true in all places of the world.

<<I suppose China doesn't have an underclass. Or if it did, you'd never admit it>>

... you are of course wrong, as usual, for why should I deny the obvious, like you always do?

<<Those farmers rioting in China, why, don't give them another thought>>

... i wish you would think about the differences for a moment, and realize how wrong you are, for (i) i do give them a thought as i do for all underdogs, and (ii) those riots are qualitatively and quantitatively different, and substantially so, from those that followed lightsout in NYC, LA, and NO. Do you know enough about the differences?

By the way, do you know about gold yet? It is a math thing.
