Thinking about China today...

...prompted by an article in the Times about China and its impact on the environment. Just about the scariest article I've read in recent memory. There's a lot of focus on China lately with the recalls of all the dangerous products; and of course because of the approach of the 2008 Summer Olympics. I've been pretty interested in all of it.

( politcal ranting within )

I don't have any solutions. I'm just cranky. Doing laundry makes me cranky.
