China is the most polluted country in the world :)

You got that right - and most Americans want Sarah Palin as their leader - stupid leading the stupid.

There definitely is something wrong with the world, we billions of citizens are allowing our planet and way of life to be controlled in an unhealthy way. There is absolutely no reason why every person on the planet can have at least a safe and decent way of life. Our entire system is being controlled by money and the greedy thieves of wall-street. There are very easily obtainable solutions for most of our problems today, but it is our elected officials who stop us from obtaining anything at all.

While it's true China has a lot of cleaning up to do, it's not like we're saints in America. Stop acting like we're so clean and responsible. We ship our electronic waste to China! People are more concerned with driving their Suburbans and having an easy, convenient lifestyle rather than taking responsibility for this. It's nobody's fault but our own. I'm guilty of it, and I'm sure the majority of all of you are too. Though we may not deal with this consequences, our children will.

@madmankitchen I don't know how any of that is relevant to my initial argument, but ok.

@madmankitchen Actually I am, come from a military even and have done ROTC myself in college, I am just educated, in economics for that matter. But like I said, thats exactly what I expected from a post like yours, asking handouts disguised at patriotism.

@madmankitchen This sounds like a great idea. I can spend twice as much on something made in the U.S. or get the exact same product made in China for half as much if not less. Why am I expected to do this? Oh yes, so I can support some under educated Union workers who are paid over twice as much as they are worth.No thanks, how about the Union workers get educations and realize that the US is moving away from being a manufacturing based economy and stop expecting handouts disguised as patriotism

If Pollution Destroys a Mountain China Builds a Mountain
