1.3 billion people seem to live happily and peacefully in China. Sure you can recite this statistic and that number and you’d probably be right. I’m not arguing that it’s a good system.

But 1.3 billion people live in a country where the government tells them how many children they can have? They seem to be a basically happy people.

But I’m not going to argue.....so I bow to your wisdom of the world.

Our “friends,” the Saudi Arabians. All male. No women allowed. Virtually all of the other Muslim countries allow women.

Only woman on the Afghanistan team disappeared from a training camp in Italy. Believed to be seeking asylum in Norway. She was getting death threats from the lovely fundamentalists that didn’t think she should compete.
