Problem of phony provincial and local assessments described in Elizabeth C. Economy's 2004 book, The River Runs Black, which covered the situation in other provinces as well. Are things better overall now? Well, very obviously thanks to the production and widespread distribution of private automobiles, among other factors such as massive construction, anybody who's lived here during that period cannot possibly fail to notice the worsening air quality in Kunming. She mentioned illegal logging as well, both in Yunnan and in Myanmar, to provide for construction, as well as the situation of water. The problem, at that time anyway, seemed to be not micromanaging from the central government, but the devolution of responsibility for carrying out central government plans from the center to the provinces. Might this have something to do with expanding privatization and 'cooperation' between local government and developers? Golly, I wonder.

I'm afraid the hogs will die young anyway, as that's what they're raised for.
On the other hand, they are tasty.

keebler, is this supposed to explain the graveyard finds mentioned in the article? If so, how do you know? Are people in Yuanmou County smaller than their ancestors because they do not believe in God? Anyway, where do you get this theory, and what is the evidence? And what makes you think that smaller means simpler? How long is this supposed to take before we notice it in the human remains that have been found? How long ago was the Flood?

I suppose it is my fault for picking up on Dolphin's remark about lufengosaurus, but note that the point of the article about the graveyard has nothing to do with theories of genetic evolution of different species. The article is about evidence concerning the culture of people - i.e., homo sapiens - in the area several thousand years ago, though of course the bones can be analyzed for analysis of living conditions, food resources, etc. of the people of the time.

Now what kind of morality is that, Keebler?
