But you can't drink the water or breathe the air.

Many places still have holes in the ground for toilets (and I have seen this in an airport of a large city).

One can only worship “freely” in a government sanctioned church.

Many families cannot afford to keep their own children, especially those with medical needs, and are forced to leave these little ones on doorsteps in the dark of night.

But, they do have several shiny new sports stadiums, for which they dispossessed thousands and thousands of people, mostly poor, without just compensation.

Of course China is better than the US, because this is what Obama wants to turn the US into.

It is a little know fact that one of the pioneers of electricity was “apprenticed” to a bookbinder by his parents who could not afford to feed, clothe and house him.

But some wills are indomitable as this was later proved to the world as he walked the hallowed halls of the Royal Society with Humphrey Davy as first a mentored prodigy and finally as a revered and accomplished member.

One of their discoveries, inventions, so far ahead of its time as to not be practically machinable was an alloy of iron, carbon and nickel which we know today as stainless steel, his name lives on as the unit of capacitance in an electrical circuit and such men leave their mark on the world not by word of mouth but the work of their minds and their hands.

Were either of our candidates today blessed with the certain modesty and the conviction of their ideas as Michael Faraday they might light the path.

The mentally ill wander the streets. If the PRC released it political prisoners it would probably have the funding to do something about it.
