    Are you trying to hurt the economy?

    Don't you watch CNBC?

    You see, some witch on CNBC says that if China took the paint out of the toys and the poison out of theyou see, food, prices at wal-mart could go up, which could hurt the economy...

    The Chinese have a lot to learn when it comes to safety and fear marketing, but they'll get there. Just watch out low low prices!

    To open the driver's door afterwards, the test crew had to use a crowbar, a tool that first hand witnesses don't have. It is essential that the door can be opened with little force to aid the passengers. The driver would have suffered severe injuries, maybe would have been dead.

    The car achieved only one of possible five stars in the EuroNCAP rating.

    I wonder if the Chinese be eating Tyson chicken while driving their new death traps? I know the Russians aren't eating our fecal soup infested chicken, and the Chinese are taking steps to ban chicken imports too. But who cares about fecal soup or poor quality food? It is China and lead paint we need to worry about because the Chinese aren't protected by anti-first amendment British style libel laws like the unregulated (thank Clinton) factory farmers out there.

    So blame China, and Wal-mart, you know, the typical scapegoats, and ignore the agricutlture industry and continue feeding your kids the Chicken McShitlets that come with their happy meals. You have no choice. Agriculture is a sacred cow that can't be touched, it has a powerful lobby, just ask Oprah.

    Are we scared enough of China yet? Maybe China just needs a more powerful PAC? Then the Chinese won't have to worry about getting hounded about pesky, profit reducing things like safety. I mean, it has worked for agriculture and the factory farmers out there.
