Chinese People on Credit Card
The industrial revolution has moved lock,stock and barrel to China. Consequently the new middle class of the world is 1.2 billion Chinese. Now they will get credit cards. They will buy cars, live in bigger homes with more fuel consuming appliances, take trips, probably sneak more children births and in general foul the planet to the loss of every other species.
I say we need a flu to curtail this juggernaught.

What's That Smell? It's the Chinese Middle Class
With all due respect to domesticated Chinese-Americans, it's alarming that their mainland home China now is producing middle class by the pallet full. Just yesterday China anounced a trade DEFICIT with its trading partners in the amount of $7 billion. Also China recently anounced that their domestic car sales are up 63% over last year. That puts them on track to consume over 13 million cars this year. That's 25% larger than Americas projected total. While there will be more Chinese killed in the crosswalks in Bejing by the visually, peripherally impaired , it will not be nearly enough to curb this unfolding environmental peril.
China has app. 1.25 billion munching, belching and defecating organisms. Imagine how many great swaths of forest will disappear worldwide overnight when all those types get credit cards. How many species will go extinct?How much fresh air will be polluted with rancid cooking greases and coal-fired plants? Buy American folks and starve the pests out.
Blue fin tuna wont have a chance. Eighty percent of their numbers have disappeared and ended up in Japanese bellies who consume 80% of the yearly catch. And now the Chinese are weighing in. Well if a war breaks ot between the Japanese and Chinese over the last sushi then the Blue fin will have a chance.
War these days between environmental terrorists has its definite upside.

Remember The Border Fence?
So how can the conservative boondoggle fence project be made into a liberal spending monkey boondoggle project? How about retrofitting the wall with doors that only have handicapped handles and ramps that open on the north side? What about port o' potties and showers on the U.S. side? Custom agents asking, " Anything to declare AND is ther anything we can do for you before you leave?" If the illegals can't think of anything then a booklet can be provided with a departing benefits list. The book includes a right to a needle exchange; G.P.S. device; 50 rounds of cartridges; water; food ; army enlistment flyer with automatic citizenship; condoms; black orphans; "Joys Of Judiaism" book; Senator Barbara Boxer's private number - studs ONLY; the novella "Barbara Boxer : To Be Young, Hot And Jewish At The Domino Club In San Francisco In The 1970s"; an easy to inseminate a woman lifer on death row kit and the little advertised legal benefits to common law spouses that flow from that legal act; a switchblade knife guarenteed to be manufactured in Iran but operating manual is in Hebrew; etc.
PLEASE DON'T STEP ON DESERT TORTOISES WHEN WALKING THROUGH WALL DOOR.

Obama Revisits Past For Future Plan
O: " We are in an severe economic downturn. It was brought on by years of fiscal mismanagement. Simply we have been living beyond our means both in the private and public sectors."
Reporter: " What do you propose to do about this looming meltdown?"
O: " I am proposing to spend massive amounts of money that we don't have to jump start the economy so that we can have breathing room for fiscal responsible policies in the future."
Reporter: " Why not do fiscal responsible policies now so we can avoid making the same mistake again? For instance why don't you stop both wars and make across the board federal spending cuts now? "
O: " I promise to do what you suggest in my second term."
Reporter: " How will the planet redeem all the demands of the new money and debt? Are we not growing faster than forests right now?
O: " I will address that question in my second term."
Reporter: " I always thought that NOW was always a good time for fiscal responsibility."
O: " NOW spelled backwards is WON. I WON. I will determine when NOW is.

How About a Slow And Local Nation?
After the 1929 Crash and the subsequent 20% unemployment , the 1930 Smoot- Hawley Tariff Act was passed to create and save jobs for unemployed Americans. The Act raised tariffs on 20,000 imported goods. Business was against the legislation and over 1000 economists signed a petition urging President Herbert Hoover not to sign it. But he did and trade between the U.S. and others plunged 50% between 1930 and 1932 because other countries retaliated.
The prospects of a President Barack Obama pushing protectionism legislation through a rabid democratic Congress is certainly not farfetched. There are all kinds of policies that can kill jobs and exacerbate a financial downturn. Tax code and environmental policies attached to trade agreements can have the same effect as tariff increases. Of course a reduction in worldwide business activity would bring some benefits. The environment would have less destructive pressure put upon it. Also we here in America would have less melamine-laced pet and human food imported from the filthy Chinese.
A slow and local nation approach would bring relief from the dollar chase of of other peoples values.

Imagine Your Chinatown At Country Size
And so it is with the curtain being drawn back on the filth of China which is host of the Beijing Olympics. Cars and factories had to be largely locked down to interrupt the smog-producing emissions that would literally cloud the observance of the competitions. Algae plumes on the sea had to be cleaned up by tens of thousands Chinese so boats would not be seized by the green organic product of sewage and agricultural waste. But not for long. After the last tourists hurry home the generation of pollution will begin again. This is all happening against a recent backdrop of earthqukes and flooding that have been exacerbated by shoddy buildings and tree-denuded mountains and the environmental sin of the ages called Three Gorges Dam.
There are 1.2 billion Chinese and not much else in China-one of the worlds oldest civilization. Trees, animals, fish, insects and plants are either gone or are teetering on leaving the smell and filth of the Chinese hoards. Where did all the flora and fauna go ? The Chinese ate 'em! A recent article on the menus of street vendors include: grasshoppers, sea horses, scorpions, lamb testicles, assorted roasted insects ad nauseam. Why even their show piece signature structure the "Birds Nest" reminds that the Chinese rob swallows of their nests and after minimum prepartion eat a soup with ingredients that include the droppings/leavings of the humble bird.
China is the worlds future if we populate the remaining areas of the earth with China-like densities. Frankly we need a virus . We need to have less Chinese in particular and people in general.
