I watch these conventions and the first thing I think is, who's paying for it and why?

Then I listen to the speeches and they amount to nothing solid, then the wives and families from Stepford troop out. And I think, so fucking what. He could be a sheep shagger for all I care, can he solve the problem?

The Western World has huge problems as the balance swings away from them to other countries. China will not keep just producing plastic toys and iPods. It's got a Space Program, it will educate and care for it's population, well those who aren't fodder, and it will take industry and power from those who think they have a given right to it.

America has no given right to be the number 1 power in the world. It has some resources like farming, oil, minerals, etc. Yet so do many other places in the world. Orientals know how to adapt.


Hong Kong 1950 and today.




Bejing 1960 and today.





New York 1960 and today.





Who is growing the fastest?
