As an aside comparing Marion Jones to this incident to me doesn’t make sense. There is a big difference between a systemic form of cheating vs. an individual doping. Individuals doping has a long history and across many different nations.[/quote]
Oh, I know I am. Frankly, I really don’t give a hoot about the olympics or cheating or whatever.
It’s not the economic hardship about the U.S. that we will encounter that I worry about and a reason why I would leave. I think one can survive economic hardships through self-regulation and discipline.
I worry a lot about a repeat of the fate of roughly 110,000 Japanese-Americans went through I do worry a lot about U.S. relation with China for various reasons. Not that I particularly like china (yes, a lot of corruption, a lot of other issues..no way in hell would i ever want to live there) But every so often when I hear about things like this that put a knot in relations between the two countries, it makes me think a bit. Let’s say we really get into a war with china. I can’t think any any chinese-american not worry about things. I’m not kidding about the concentration camps. I don’t think this country has learned from it’s past. Some of those bible belt backassward folks in the south probably don’t even know where the hell Taiwan is, let alone sort out the differences between us. Heck they can barely tell koreans, japanese, and chinese apart. And i’m sure if it gets to that, it will be like, “ah stick them on in a camp, and then sort them out”….Perhaps i need to dig up that old NRA membership afterall 🙁
Side note: Lately, I hear so much comparison between Roosevelt and Obama. To me, that ain’t a good thing.If my memory of american history serves me correctly, I believe it was Roosevelt that signed executive order 9066. I wonder if Obama is going to end up signing the next one.
