CHINA WHINA

Since I've spend so much time and energy attempting to illustrate the art of.....WHATEVER THE ART IS OR SHOULD BE WHEN dealing with China.....I'm not really sure what I am trying to accomplish because truthfully this train will not be re-routed....no matter what anyone says or does.

Realistically speaking....the products we obtain from CHINA will only increase.....BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS SOME TYPE OF REGULATORY COMMITTEE THAT ISN'T JUST A BUNCH OF RUBBER STAMPING DICKHEADS.

I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE MY POINTS, REGARDING CHINA, BY E-MAILING MY CONGRESSMAN....HENRY WAXMAN.

THAT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR A FEW LAUGHS....or as my beautiful daughter said yesterday.....MY BLOG SOUNDS LIKE IT'S INTENDED FOR CRAZY PEOPLE....so it makes sense that I should start writing a congressman.

IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN ABUNDANCE OF CRAZY PEOPLE SO THEREFORE MY AUDIENCE MIGHT BE LARGER THAN I THOUGHT.

CRAZY is such a funny word........it's usage has probably changed quite a bit from the times when they put "crazy" people in "places for crazy people."

Today it's like an affectionate term for the strange uncle or nutty cousin....or that loner math professor from Northern California who doesn't play enough golf.

INSANE GETS MORE TO THE POINT and at least Lily didn't say my blog was intended for INSANE people.....now that would have been harsh and cruel....and my guess is that insane people probably have a hard time concentrating on the written word.

BUT WHAT THE HEAVEN DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH CHINA?

I THINK WHAT LILY IS SAYING IS THAT COMPLAINING ABOUT CHINA MIGHT BE A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY AND ONLY CRAZY PEOPLE MIGHT FIND IT AMUSING.

I don't find the China/United States relationship to be amusing.....and after watching off-shore manufacturing destroy the American Furniture Industry, I actually have some knowledge in this area.

AND I STARTED POINTING IT OUT OVER TEN YEARS AGO....and if you thought people aren't ready now...imagine how nutty I appeared in 1997.

Of course since 1994 I have had a very good reason to drift off to the nutty side of life....but since I've always had a different angle on issues....I can't really blame my behavior on one extremely large tragedy....even though I am sure IT contributes to being occasionally pissed off....and I'm not deranged to the point that I think China had anything to do with what happened in 1994......but I'm looking into it.....just in case.

ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT THE UNITED STATES TAKES AN ACTIVE INTEREST IN THE SAFETY OF PRODUCTS THAT ORIGINATE IN CHINA

THAT'S NEITHER CRAZY NOR INSANE.

WHAT IS CRAZY are THE FOLLOWING:

4000 PETS dead from poison manufactured at a plant in China that was bulldozed in order to prevent investigation.

Deadly Puffer Fish sent from China to three states in America.......by mistake.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FOOD IMPORTED FROM CHINA WHEN WE ARE PAYING FARMERS NOT TO GROW.

THE SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF TIBET AND A PEACEFUL AND SPIRITUAL WAY OF LIFE....that has existed far longer than American Idol.....which seems to be the new bastion for spiritual awakening in these United States....( 74 million votes....you figure it out.....)

The last sentence might be the most appalling action that has been conducted on the part of the Chinese government.

TO HAVE A FEAR OF TIBETAN MONKS BECAUSE THEY TEACH PEACEFUL AND SPIRITUAL HARMONY.... IS THE TRUE INDICATION OF WHAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT MIGHT BE ABOUT...and when one thinks about that eradication then one might have a slight clue where the safety of United States citizens and their pets, sits on China's list of important issues to address.

THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF AND IF ONLY CRAZY PEOPLE CAN RELATE...THEN WELCOME TO THE FARM.....where everything being manufactured has MADE IN CHINA stamped directly on the outside of the box.

I'm going to ignore China for the next few weeks and concentrate on issues closer to home....because I'm just tired on being a CHINA WHINA....and I'm sure you've had enough to last for awhile.
