The chinese got a good foot hold already going in Iowa. As meditators we are proly safe in Fairfield from the destruction of LA and Seattle; the chinese reds would proly only use low yield bombs on the West coast to preserve their holdings in Iowa. Red china bought and owns Smithfield Hogs. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/24/smithfield-shareholders-approve-record-chinese-tak/?page=all http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/24/smithfield-shareholders-approve-record-chinese-tak/?page=all
The communist chinese over-seers are not going to nuke their own real estate holdings in Iowa hog production. That would not make sense considering some of the best soil in the whole world is here in Iowa to feed all their chinese billions. Buck, not to mention all their exchange students, etc. at MUM and in the Domes!

However, we do know from the example of the Meissner Effect [ME] that just a few of us can change things; even the course of history. Yep, frivolous consumerism is seriously perilous in so many ways. We evidently all just need more Self-discipline around both our incessant materialism and then actually taking the time for meditation. Taking quiet time twice a day at the least to practice a transcending meditation. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote: I think that $230 billion a year is globally not the US.

Americans spend over $230 billion a year on "New Age" products: http://specialtyretail.com/issue/2003/10/retail-products/retail-product-features/new_age_products/ And that doesn't even include the $10.4 billion per year market in seminars and self-improvement programs. http://www.marketresearch.com/Marketdata-Enterprises-Inc-v416/Self-Improvement-Products-Services-7284574/ http://www.marketresearch.com/Marketdata-Enterprises-Inc-v416/Self-Improvement-Products-Services-7284574/ "There's a sucker reborn every minute." - Sri Parmahansa Boddhisatva Barnum
