China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.

Happy New Year, KP!

Your summation of 2005 was pretty lucid and encompassing. Thanks! It seemed to fit me, as well. ;o]

Humility.

But not too much.

Too much humility is pride. ~grin

Hi!

Still here?

I had to take a phone call, and now need to go start another load of laundry.

Ping me!

Okie Dokie!

[Monkey Face]

You're pung.

Now what?

Hi, Es!

It's raining and windy...

My sister called from Tahoe last night; the roads were impassable with a second major storm due in tonight. My mother was hospitalized there at Washoe Medical yesterday but they couldn't transport her to Reno because of the weather.

She was taken down the mountain early this morning between storms for what turned out to be at least a triple bypass if not a quad. Im told she's doing well... more to follow when I hear back from my sister.

Today is our wedding anniversary but we're just sitting on our butts because we're both sick.

And how is your New Year? :-)

[Monkey Face]

Awjeez, Sandy! Get it OVER with!! That way, the rest of the year will be good!

I hope your mother is doing well, now, and that her surgery is successful, and that she heals quickly.

Happy Anniversary! Celebrate it NEXT weekend!

And do you have that "California Flu" that has beenwiping out AZ, UT, and ID? It's a nasty one. I hope you are both feeling better soon!

*hugs*

I am going to celebrate the New Year by taking a nap.

Back later.

[EsmeraldaA]

Hello 'Face!

New day, New Year, new thread, new ping list.....

Too much?.......LOL!

[fanfan]

Too much humility is pride. ~grin

We always have to be careful, don't we.

I (a WASP native born US American) was in Beijing on 9/11. I noticed a lot more people paying attention to me after the attack. It seemed like they were trying to gauge my emotional state. I talked with lots of locals and nearly all of them felt that the US deserved it. Everyone was very interested in what had happened and there was lots of chit chat about it until about 3 days later when the state run media announced that the US had retaliated. Things calmed down and the whole issue just went away after that. I was surprised how such misinformation could propagate so quickly.

I think most of the hate at the time was due to the recent Hanin island EP3 incident when a PRC fighter jock commited suicide by flying into our spy plane and seriously damaging it.

China needs a new government. Their revolution will happen. The only question is whether or not their old government will participate, and how fast it comes.
