" ... The Chinese imperial examinations always has a top scholar, and that man has always been the most intelligent. He deserves the abundant wealth that comes with that post, and it is his right to live of the taxpayer's money. If you are still unhappy, it is not the PAP's policies that needs to be changed. It is the order of nature that you seek to change. " - Sigh @ 09:57 PM February 24, 2011
i have no doubt that not quite a few people here think like sigh. What does the world think? It will be a sad future if such idea goes unchallenged. China is feeling her way and engineering an attempt to feed not only its people but the world with an alternative worldview, a confucius consciousness. With her status of a rising power, nothing less than a tetonic shift of the Judea-Christian worldview, shaken to its core, to that of an alternative is imminent. Not withstanding the merits of Confucius thought, whom i admire for his tone of peace and harmony of man and nature, the signal of an iota of promoting this two-thousnad-five-hundred year old sage is enough to give fits to the above "ideology".
Maybe China don't have to look so far back in her history to justify taking her place not too far from now. Least she has forgotten that a great people has already transcent feudalism and was on the road to emancipation. Please don't go back when you become rich.
China has a right to prosper and seek "progress" for her people. China can rise for all i care. But with her rise ...
Meanwhile in the land-of-the-free
NY Times: Paul Krugman
" ... “Notwithstanding ss. 13.48 (14) (am) and 16.705 (1), the department may sell any state-owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without solicitation of bids, for any amount that the department determines to be in the best interest of the state. Notwithstanding ss. 196.49 and 196.80, no approval or certification of the public service commission is necessary for a public utility to purchase, or contract for the operation of, such a plant, and any such purchase is considered to be in the public interest and to comply with the criteria for certification of a project under s. 196.49 (3) (b).” "
Someone told me: " ... but this is how the world works... "
No. The world is changing. And it is not for the better.
If God cannot help us, then we have to help ourselves, and pray (oxymoron me) that this NEW WORLD ORDER never arise.
