I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
Don't worry Otis, I'm sure that if/when China becomes more powerful than the US, they will use that power in a responsible way and will be the first to render aid around the world when disasters strike. I do wonder why we're not hearing uproar from environmentalists as China eliminates miles of sea floor.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
I wonder who else is going to build their own island considering nothing will be done about any of them. I hope China decides to build one in front of Obama's new residence in Hawaii after he retires. Oh wait, he will complain to the current President of the USA and expect something to be done while he now sits and talks about how good relations are with all the countries under his leadership.
