    Last year, I watched on TV the Olympic torch relay. I was surprised that while the torch was in France, it was snatched from a wheel-chaired bound person.

    There wasn’t any outcry from the so-called human rights group that the action was very inhuman.

    Hence, I find this group activities “interesting” !

    America needs China to buy its treasury bonds…so that America can go deeper into DEBT.
    Would America default on those bonds and start the Ameron? …

    Time will tell.

    The Chinese are more humane.

    Read the news, and you will find Haiti eating “edible clay”.
    Presume, Haiti did not submit to America totally.

    As one writer wrote,
    “With colonialism decling, global domination takes a new form…..”
