>as i told gru, the elites think china's totalitarian control over the people is a raging success...> Suicides in city factories and pollution are part of all countries in fast industrializing countries. It happened in industrial revolution in England. Similar Dickensian scenes are seen in all big cities in the world - whether Mumbai or Mexico or Bangkok or Jakarta. That does not imply that the labor is slave labor. Actually, this happens even more in the cities are vibrant with capitalist opportunities. What happens is that workers from close knit villages move to the big, strange cities and start out at the bottom of the pyramid. Some find it exciting and some find that depressing. Therefore, some of the suicides in the bustling factory cities of China may be explained simply by this. I don't know how much of the suicides have to do with slave labor or a totalitarian communist government. -Arun

As an "elite", I've always felt the very best form of government would be an enlightened dictatorship, with a wise man at the top choosing other wise, good folk to carry out his vision. The only problem is KEEPING it enlightened. I mean, for every Augustus, you have a Nero and a Caligula.. Let's face it, America will go for whoever provides the bread and the best circus's. I'd vote for a candidate that would provide armed gladiatorial combat on basic cable. Let's see how Brock Lesner deals with swords and bullets!
