"Liberal friends think I'm a Fascist; Conservative friends think I'm a Communist." ~ John Gorelski We are the 99%? Elizabeth Warren vs. Libertarianism "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. … You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea—God bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is [that] you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along." ~ Elizabeth Warren

Remember when school bus drivers were the only ones worried about No Child Left Behind and it only took twenty kilobytes for NASA to put a man on the moon?

Observation: No matter where a person travels in China, it seems that people smoke just about anyplace and everywhere. However, for some strange reason, ALL the major American brand eating establishments are completely smoke free AND the Chinese actually OBSERVE the NO SMOKING signs. The capitalistic icons of McDonald's, Subway, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, KFC, Starbucks and Daylight Donuts are ALL SMOKE FREE.
