Random thoughts from main street

Five harmful influences in China: flood, drought, unseasonable weather, pestilence, insects.

Seven necessities of Chinese life: Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soybean sauce, vinegar (for the yin yang contrast in cooking) and tea (the froth of liquid jade).

A Ms. liberal Fascista in charge of tobacco control in India declares: "Smoking is an infringement on people’s right to live." This she ass expresses her insane opinion that the "asthma problem comes by inhaling second-hand smoke.")

The current money crisis comes not from a failure of capitalism (as envisioned by the left) but from the dictatorship and blackmail of liberal Democrats to banking and financial institutions over more than a decade.

Some percentages of youth (usually male) over 15 who smoke around the world: Greece and Russia 50%, U.K., China, France, Germany, Mexico and the U.S., 25 % to 40%.

Conclusions? Smoking, tea, natural disasters, liberal insanity - the great equalizers.
