Yes, I’d stay there. But not in that space saucer looking thingy on the right. Looks like too much trust put in a tooky little support beam to me...

I've visited Guangzhou,a major Chinese city a hour or so north of Hong Kong,twice in my life.Once in 1980 and the second time in 2010.In '80 the streets were full of bicycles,thousands of them,and an occasional truck or bus.The building were low,drab and appeared to be falling down.In 2010 there were traffic jams (Toyotas,Lexus,Kias..and Buicks,surprisingly) and there were a number of huge,modern glass skyscrapers.

All that thanks to the fact that Americans,Europeans and Japanese wanted to pay $20 less for their DVD players.

Such a dream could never be realized in modern America, the former nation of dreams.

I’ve been advocating this kind of stuff with my friends in the mining business for over a decade: Shape the land to be interesting and beautiful. Hire a watercolor artist to arrange the piles of tailings by color. It wouldn’t cost that much and it makes the mine an asset when it’s done.

A world with too much time on its hands.

Time for a massive reset.

The emperor has no clothes. What a dump. 5 stars? How about 5 lumps of coal!
