Boisiemike,
I read your post and was sad...what makes me sad is it's the truth!
I've spent more than a year now in China, and the truth is China (in many ways) is much more free than we are. China is much like USA was back in the 60's
through the 80's.
What I see happening is China is becoming like us, and we are becoming like China--we will meet somewhere in the middle, and that's pretty much how the world would be from then on...go Obama...your "hope and change" is working!
Sorry, just had to rant...
BTW: Bill thank you for keeping us all informaed
