So China gets East Asia, India gets south Asia, Europeans run Europe, Americans get to parade around North America, and the rest of the world either gets its act together or become economic attachments to the Big Boys. Rise of the regions baby.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

It smells like a dockside bar.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

I don't think this new round of Chinese power will be any different from the previous bout- lots of influence, but not much outward aggression- its not like China needs more people or land, really. I can see them being a much more laid back world steward than the US- atr the same time, that means a lot more not giving a crap about others elsewhere, as long as the money flows.If you don't like reality, change it! me
