Golden Gate Bridge in San FranciscoPhoto Credit: Kimberly White/Reuters"No force can stop the torch relay of the Olympic Games," said Sun Weide, a spokesman for the Beijing organizing committee, The Associated Press reported. "We are confident the torch relay of the Beijing Olympic Games will succeed." Someday, unless we wake up, the Chinese will be saying the same thing about their control of the world.

I would be worried if the Chinese mandated that all children should be brought up Jewish.

One of the saddest things to see is how Wal-Mart, by constantly forcing its vendors to come up with cheaper products each year eventually forces any local industry to set up shop in China where controls are almost non-existent and labor practices border on slavery.

I don't have as much a problem with Chinese products since I have never shopped in a Wal-Mart and never will. In fact, I have never even stepped into a Wal-Mart in my life.

I have noticed for some time that I have not been receiving any traffic from China, although I do get a half-dozen or so visitors from Hong Kong every week. Just to make sure, I clicked on the Great Firewall of China and took the test; sure enough, Planck's Constant is banned in Red China.

Islamic clerics have to be certified by local Chinese authorities that their political beliefs are not in conflict with Chinese culture, sermons are chosen that do not encourage Jihad, and even which version of the Quran is used is also strictly controlled. And as we know, for good reason. In effect, the Chinese force all Muslims to practise a very narrow, cleaned-up, state-controlled version of Islam.

If the average Chinese citizen ever becomes as well off as Europeans or Americans, they will not need a one-child only policy since well-educated, well-off westerners average less than one child per couple anyway.

Amazingly China knows they have exactly 46,702 women sex workers in Yunnan and Sichuan. In addition, I am surprised that the Chinese cannot take on a project like this without help from the British. They are sitting on an ocean of trade dollars. I guess if the West is stupid enough to hand out the money there will always be those eager to receive donations.

Here's a film that should be required viewing for all students entering high school. If this doesn't shame one into studying, I don't know what else will. To view the 2006 Sundance Film Festival Documentary (17 minutes) click anywhere on the fat kid eating. From hahahahamerica.

Congress is turning up the heat on the cozy relationship that Internet giants Google, Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems conduct with China's cyber-police. If Congress is so concerned about cyber-police then why aren't they investigating the Justice Department's porn patrol, our very own cyber-police?

Google is adamantly refusing Federal prosecutors requests for web search records.
