Occupy Wallstreet?

OK, this is getting silly. Why would we want to occupy wallstreet? Our problems are a result of the government we chose, not the wallstreet we didn't.

China

I look forward to the day when the Chinese people become citizens of the world. But before that can happen they must first become citizens of their own nation. My definition of citizen involves participation in your government, the democratic process. If you're not free, you're a captive. You're being denied the most basic democratic freedoms that the rest of the world enjoys. It's not that China isn't a great nation, it's whether China is achieving it's full potential as a citizen of the world.
