Scary stuff from China

I read about the folks who are against healthcare reform they seem to belong to the same pile of people who are against cleaning up the environment. The common denominator seems to be they don’t like the costs of these humanitarian interventions. Talk about jab my eyes out! Is it that they figure some people and places are just expendable? They are poor and uneducated and someone has to clean up our mistakes and make our chemicals. Look at these pictures from China. This would seem to exemplify the cost of not caring.

So when you are shopping for a toy for your favorite tot and you notice that it was made in China. Remember this picture of plastic factory waste going in to what was once a beautiful river.

Next time you buy an Iphone, computer or various other electronics and some jewelry remember this titanium plant.

Without rules a nations people are allowed to suffer. Without activism the suffering continues. Our country allows activism and yet some refer to those activists as socialists. I don’t get it.

Don’t blame this horridness on the people of China. Just like here there are good people trying to do good things to advocate for the health and happiness of all people. Not just those who can afford good health and happiness. Please see the entire article and all the photos at

If it wasn’t already obvious, then it is surely clear here that our Stuff is made in a Mordor of this very earth, by a people in slavery. In a globalized world, our complicity in their deaths and suffering is no less than those who stood by in the towns of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. These workers’ horrors may be marginally less, but unlike the deathcamps’ neighbours, we cannot pretend we have not seen.
