- I am dealing with the trauma of a blank blog writer page. Being a family man, I only see China when I walk to work.
- From Eternity road, two good postings about Climate Change: One and Two. I appreciate this passage from number two:
Intellectually, the Left is on the ropes and knows it. Over the century past, it's had hundreds of chances to try its nostrums from a position of power. Every such implementation has failed disastrously. In contrast, the repeal of their policies and programs, where permitted, has reversed the damage and fostered health and growth. The Soviet Union and Red China averted total collapse only by embracing capitalism. In the West, the most dramatic example is Chile, where the dissolution of socialism and the institution of a market economy even freer than that of the United States led to 9% annual economic growth and fears throughout the rest of Latin America that the Chileans would soon leave them permanently behind. With demonstrations such as these available, the Left is aware that it cannot win at the debating table.
- That is why the Left is jumping on the Climate Change band wagon. It is their final ideological hope. America won the battle of ideas in the late 20th century. (I converted to the Right in 1991) But the Left did not want to admit it was wrong until the idea of Climate Change (changed from global warming) became a new rationale to stick it to America and capitalism.
- It was the 70th anniversary of the Nanjing massacre this past week. Of course, it made the headlines in all the government controlled newspapers here. As John Derbyshire has pointed out, the Chicoms like to revel in the suffering that happened at that time because it allows them to divert attention from the greater massacres of Chinese that they commited in the 1950s and 1960s and have still never owned up to or apologized for.
- From Small Dead Animals, a link about rude Chinese fisherman. Look for my comment.
