I have mentioned this before on some other thread that I had(still have) a great friend, guru (Priest)when I was growing up. He truly had the gift of gab and eventually became the Arch Bishop on Nova Scotia. Well in one of his sermons (and I truly don't remember what it was all about.)he said that one day the Chinese, when ready, will take over the world, and all they would need are their sticks. This was back in the early 60's. For some reason I never forgot this. I'm not a religuos person. I don't go to (any) church anymore, but I do see that things are shifting in many repects.

Ice caps melting, forest being leveled, our beloved birds being gassed. Virus of on be known cures. Bites from those pesty mosquitoes, polluted waters not to mention the fish with two heads and glowing in the dark. Oh! and did you know that what "God" created 50 million years ago "The Wonderful Loon", will be in all likelihood extinct in 25 years due to our polluted lakes. Aids, floods in increasing numbers as well as hurricanes and all that goes with them.
Then you look at all the global conflicts (wars) going on.

Hay! I know I've forgotten some other negative thoughts. But these are true. I'm not a negative person. In fact I try and stay away from them because they bring you down.

Were still lucky in some respect. If you live in the country you can still look up and see the stars. But how long can you be outside in the summer with no shirt?

The Chinese? I remember laughing at things we use to get from Japan. What a laugh it was. Now it is accepted. Maybe the same with China, but I don't think so.
Sleep well.
