On the topic of China, The Atlantic had a cover story last month about the "New Cold War" that we could have with China if things soured - http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200506/kaplan for the opening excerpt. Alas, I didn't buy a copy, and am not a subscriber, so I can't speak to the quality of the article itself (even if it was written by Kaplan..) > If you rate your self-worth solely on whether you have the latest > newest widget, you're never going to be happy. It's really that simple. Henry Rollins has his own film review show now on IFC. In one of his rants about the way the world is, he started frothing about consumerism as relates to films, something to the effect of "when I walk into a 7-11 and don't blink an eyelash at a cardboard cutout of Darth Vader hawking Cheez-its to me, things have gone too far!" On Karma.. you don't "owe", but there are repurcussions to the forces you exhert, yes? -k- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
