WEll, they seemed to have learnt to manage the people-based resource 
philosophy in China, precisely. But then they are not culturally 
diverse, or at least not so much as the West is supposed to be.

However, if all predictions were accurate then we'are doomed and have 
been doomed for the last 50 years or so. Irretrievable damage. Falcons 
have gained power in the US, and geriatric authorities continue to rule 
in China. If the younger generations could arise there might be still 
some hope for this globe, don't you think?

Sometimes one thinks that plagues are a blessing in disguise.

The trampled corpses
Stacked in the lobby
Are all that remain of the literal-minded.

Among the missing
Are the little girl who shouted 'Fire'
And those of us who remained seated
Savouring the sheer
Theatre.
