I join this list in hope of learning a few thing about political economy. But instead I am learning about American humor, or what passes as such. Of course the Chinese are not independent thinkers; they invent fantasies about imperialistic oppression. Besides, who are they to complain when American workers still have to work at 100 times Chinese wages for doing the same work. The Chinese embassy at Bellgrade was not boombed, its only an hysteria invention of the Chinese mentality in reaction to the accidental fall of pieces of metal and some chemical on the wrong building. What is the big deal. Alright already. Didn't the Chinese invent gunpowder? Serves them right. The Chinese are so dumb that they don't realize that without Mao, they could been enjoying the fruits of Western neo-liberal globalism 50 year earlier, like Guam. But then if not Communism, the West would probably find something else to ridicule the Chinese about. Oh no, it would not be racist jokes, that is only for thinskin types who think calling a spade a spade racist. It would be their lack of an Western outlook. We don't mind their looking Chinese (after all, Western civilization has discovered diversity), but do they have to think like one? How naive to respect national revolutionary heros? Don't the Chinese know everybody is out for the buck. Mao could not have been too bright, otherwise he would have defected to Harvard and write a series of book with millions of dollar in advances. Or be a resident leftist at Princeton with special tenure. May even have a Hollywood moive made on his early life: How I rejected Communism for the good life and found God. Don;t forget residual rights on video releases. What do the Chinese Communists know about propaganda on the masses? They should have hire Satchy & Satchy or sponsored Death Valley Days. How dare they steal our secrets on the internet, should have never permitted the export of modems. Never should have allowed Chinese to work in others fields beside hard labor, lets bring back the old California restitive laws. Never figures they'd be bright enough to be scientists though. Even Chinese Christians are untrustworthy, so are Chinese Jews (Oh yes, we have them in Kaifeng, since the Han dynasty in 220 a.d.) or Chinese Moslems. Tibetan Buddhists are different; they know how to behave in Hollywood bashes. Workers of the world unite, with American workers on top! Freedom, Democracy, bombs away!
