You Cannot Build a Free-Market Economy Going Half-Way - China
China has posted year over year growth of about 10% and many economists say that is where the money is. Indeed there is a lot of capital flow there, but we have just witnessed a near disastrous stock market correction. What is going on in China? Is China really interested in free-markets? Well let's look at some of the issues?The Chinese Government subsidized airlines selling tickets 50% cheaper than South Korean Airlines. That is dumping. China continually practices Mass Media control and censorship, for instance their censorship of TV, Radio and Internet. China practices Currency Manipulation or currency gaming along with protectionism in their domestic markets.What about Patent Piracy of your preferred trading partners technologies? You see, you cannot build a Free-Market Economy going half-way and therefore obviously China is not interested in building a free-market, they are interested in what is best for China and not in what's in the best interest for all concerned nor should anyone expect that from China.Recently when asked about their pollution by the coalition for Global Warming, China responded that they would in the future consider the affect as they build new infrastructure, but would never let the Global Warming issue to slow their growth? Interesting because China's pollution is completely outrageous.So, what is China going to do with this mess o

I Should Have Been on Oprah - But There's Still Nascar
I was watching Oprah the other day and all of the sudden there was Grammar Girl talking about sentence structure and using the right words in the right ways. I couldn’t believe it. I’d read about promoting yourself to such levels, but never, in a million years, thought Oprah would be interested in doing a story about a grammar book. Grammar Girl wrote one. I wrote one too. The difference is she probably sold thousands, maybe even millions while my book sales have yet to reach the hundreds. Why? Is it because her book is better than mine? Probably not – I mean we ARE talking grammar here. But Oprah endorsed her book, she didn’t endorse mine. So, I think the answer is – promotion.So what do I do now that the grammar circuit seems to be all sewed up? Would Letterman or Leno be interested in a grammar guru? Would they even want me now that Grammar Girl has been on Oprah? I have this vision of Grammar Girl appearing out of nowhere, ripping open her shirt to reveal a giant “G” and then correcting my grammar! Maybe I don’t need that kind of exposure. Maybe I need to think bigger. What would Grammar Girl do next – a radio talk show maybe? No let’s think bigger yet – I know, a TV show – yes that’s it! The Grammar Network – it would be great. I can see it now, all grammar all day all night. We could have specials on prepositions, interviews with proper nouns and discussions on dangling parti
