@MissA: Good for you girl. My advice is to avid one night stands. Especially with old geezers unless they are kind and generous ;-)

Pollution is an economic issue.

Capital is needed and operating costs are increased. China has, with full understanding of these costs, is continuing to purse a policy that ignores the long term costs in money and human suffering.

Zhou Xueshuang, a petrochemical pollution expert at the environmental ministry, said no factory has reached the goal of zero emissions because this requires huge capital outlays for special equipment and engineering. "Zero emissions can only be achieved in a laboratory," he said.

Environmental experts said the concept of zero emission was popular because it provides a seemingly legitimate solution for industrial companies to start production in environmentally sensitive regions.

"Zero emissions is a fairy tale created by interest groups," another environmental expert said. "Everyone knows it is hard to achieve, but without it, how can a project get launched?"

Isn't a bit sexist to ask the guys only? MissA ought to be more forthcoming about her curiosity.

Is she Chinese? Or, is she just a white chick who can't get the eye of a dude dating pretty and thin Chinese?

@Magni: Maybe you are right.The US State Department says what they need is jobs. Obama reminds us of the crusades. We could also stop educating women, stop all free speech, end democracy and accept our fate as infidels, which is death or slavery. Kumbaya.

BTW it is a Seekers or PPM song. Don't think the Doors did it:

Hear me crying, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Hear me crying, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Hear me crying, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.

@lemon lover:
Not only conspiracy theorists use BS. I stumbled onto Koire by following links of web 'authorities' who deny both the Tiananmen incident AND the holocaust in Germany. Go figure.

Somehow, progressive think morphs into antisemitic think into help the poor of the world by taking from 'rich' countries to give to... well I don't know who gets the wealth.

The Agenda 21 approach seems follow socialist wealth redistribution but skirts the central planning model. That is, until the central plan is replaces by Agenda 21 and implementation is by the masses. A horse is a horse, of course, of course.

So far, as I read Agenda 21, Koire's "inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world," is what Agenda 21 is all about. A horse is a horse, of course, of course.

Yup, that's her, the lady that objects to private property being seized to create off street bike lanes. She describes her self as "[I've] been a Democrat since I was registered to vote . . . I'm anti-war, I'm gay, I'm [a] feminist." Not so much a right wing conspiracy nut I think.

Reading Agenda 21 now.

Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.

I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.

The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.

Last week had an 8:45am flight.

Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.

Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.

Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.

Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

World Class Airport, NOT!

Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.

Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.

I'm going to try to make it.

Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
