Thank you. If true, that's interesting.

Oh c'mon, we would die without China. Which is to say, we would have a
simpler life, and the roles may be reversed with China running the
world. And now they have become hungry too.
I'm just saying.
The point is WHY on earth we are so advanced as to not being able to
ride a bike?

I'm even using binoculars, so don't worry. I found a nice little
escape out of the jungle to see the world in perspective.

Only the Chinese are willing and able to copycat American way of life.
Not the Japanese, not the Germans, not the French, not the Dutch. They
wanted to buy Hummer, and ride Hummer...
That's called NAPOLEONIC COMPLEX.
Hey, follow the WISE MONKEY...

MORE REAL WORLD PROOF THAT YOU CAN TRULY DO ANYTHING:
The News for the Soul Story ... Hear about how News for the Soul - the
#1 totally free life changing audio resource on the world wide web - was
created by one "broke, down and out single mom on disability". Just
before launching News for the Soul in January 1997, Nicole Whitney had 3
incurable diseases, two children, no family, money or resources and
plenty of excellent reasons why single handedly launching a new form of
alternative media wasn't possible. Nonetheless, she hobbled to the
printers on her cane, her one year old and eight year old daughters in
tow, and printed her first "positive news newspaper" edition using that
month's disability check, along with some faith and sheer will ... Over
the next decade, the paper then called Know News evolved into a leading
resource for self empowerment in print and radio and on the internet.
And somehow along the way, the three "incurable'' diseases vanished
along with Nicole's old way of thinking and being. Now News for the Soul
serves the awakening global community and reminds us all that anything
truly is possible. FIND OUT MORE: http://www.newsforthesoul.com/index.htm
