I have been brushing up on my Mandarin using Rosetta Stone for a few months now. It is an incredibly complex language to learn. Spanish and Russian are easier, so I think I may end up in southern Mexico when I "retire." Anyway, I do agree with everything said in this article or blog. Thank you for writing this and I would like to share it on my facebook page: unedited and as is, of course. This is well written, funny, and, unfortunately, correct.

This article is especially brilliant. I want it to be read all over the place. Sadly, those that need to read it, get it, and do something about it probably won't read it, get it, or give a shit. I especially agree with the think tank crap... It is so true how clever they are in distracting us from one 'thought' to get us where they want us so we aren't where we really need to be. Oh.. ... I'm still doing my best to be the change I wish to see. you're amazing. xo j Well, Ian.. you are as brilliant as I have always believed you to be. This article is especially brilliant.
