It is a dark day for exploration. The day we turned to the unexplored and unmastered and said "fuck it, we don't care."
As LBJ said: "It's too bad, but the way American people are, now that they have all this capability, instead of taking advantage of it, they'll probably just piss it all away."
Exactly right. This is one of the main reasons the space program went down the toilet in the early 1970s and has stayed there. As Martin Luther King, Jr said: "If our nation can spend twenty billion dollars to put a man on the moon, it can spend billions of dollars to put God's children on their own two feet right here on earth." http://www.spacedaily.com/news/oped-04b.html
Strong and peaceful, wise and brave, Fighting the fight for the whole world to save, We the people will ceaselessly strive To keep our great revolution alive! Unfurl the banners! Look at the screen! Never before has such glory been seen! Oceania! Oceania! Oceania, 'tis for thee! Every deed, every thought, 'tis for thee! Every deed, every thought, 'tis for thee! Every deed, every thought, 'tis for thee!
"Bono lives in Killiney in south County Dublin, Ireland, with his family and shares a villa in Èze in the Alpes-Maritimes in the south of France with The Edge, as well as an apartment at The San Remo in Manhattan and a small house in the quiet village of Middleton Cheney, England."
In this economy, I think the Chinese would suffer more.
Exactly which Chinese would suffer and why do you think they would not blame the West? Or do you think the Chinese leadership would be voted out by their suffering electorate?
Sounds like the WTO could have a bit of leverage considering how much comes out of China right now that could be gradually restricted...
And replaced with what? And what if the Chinese decide to retaliate and simply shut down exports for a couple of months? Who do you think will cry uncle first?
The whole reason for the 2nd amendment is to allow for the citizens of the country to have the power to overthrow the government at such a point in time that it no longer serves the people. But please tell me, what good does a fully automatic Uzi do you when you are faced with the might of the US Military?
Have you been to Baghdad or Kabul anytime in the past 7 years?

Google's expat employees are now out of China.
