Greetings Citizen:
We are back to the old format where you only need to give us
your email address to voice your opinion. From time to time we
will ask for your address. We will NOT sell your name to SPAM
farms or registration farms. That is not the purpose.
We would also like to apologize for the Blog being down for nearly
48 hours. Many of you could not post your comments. We fixed
the problem. The China issue promises to be an issue that will
not soon go away. There seems to be considerable ambivalence
regarding China and US relations. We will keep an eye on
what you are thinking over the next several months.
We also would like to direct your attention to the video clips
selected. All are unusual for one reason or the other. Some
funny, others nostalgic. Please rate the clips so we can do
a better job of selecting the clips that you most want to watch.

On China
Regarding China being our enemy - the answer better be no,
or we, as a country, are going to lose! �Jennifer
--------------------
On China
I am not so sure that 'enemy' is exactly the correct term at
this time in history, but they are definitely going to be a
voracious competitor in the very near future for markets in
the Pacific Rim area. �Mountain Wolf Girl
--------------------
On China
Enemy, NO; competetor yes. My real problem is that so many
western companies are investing so heavily in China that if
China would decide to nationalize all the industry that has
been brought over there, it would throw the west into a
real financial crisis. -Dwight
--------------------
On China
The wording of the question is the key. No, China is, and
for several decades, is not an enemy, of anybody. They have
too many, still, internal problems. -Hugh

** The Revolutionary Store N Spin System **
"Before I bought the Store N Spin my kitchen was such a mess
with all the tupperware that was stuffed in my cabinets. But
now, with Store N Spin, my kitchen is more organized than it
has ever been before." - Erin
Whether you keep it in your cabinet, drawer, shelf, or on
your countertop, the Smart Spin makes it easier to get to
your tupperware or storage containers and reduces the clutter
in your kitchen all at the same time.
This also means you don't have to worry about any more lost
lids. And, because the lids are all the same size, they stack
easily to save space. Order yours for $19.99 when you visit:

On 2008 Preferences
The people who answer this as "undecided" must really
have issues! -Adrob
--------------------
On 2008
I believe there is a growing portion of the populace that
is tired of choosing from the lesser of 2 evils. I would
love to see a viable 3rd party candidate but I don't see it
happening in the next election. -Mike
--------------------
On Housing
Housing Bubble - there is a bubble in many places in the
country but NOT everywhere. Will there be regional problems
when the current boom is over, absolutely. But that need not
mean a national problem. -Nate
--------------------
On 2008
Are there people I'd like to see run for president in the
next election? Yes, definitely, but for now, let's just
enjoy the next two and a half non-election years. -Pat
