| Hey, All You Free-Marketeers, Anti-Environmentalist Types, Take A Good Look At China |
|
And see what country with lax pollution standards truly looks like. Just look at the myriad of headlines regarding their polluted air and water. It's so bad that many well-trained athletes are avoiding the country until their event begins and many will be wearing masks as they compete.
This is why Liberalism is unpopular in this country. Whenever we are dead right about an issue and whenever we have living proof of right we are, we do not capitalize on it. The Sierra Club and other environmental groups should be on the air the air with ads about China's pollution.

I'm not sure what your point is - I don't think Capatalist Russia is sufficiently regulated |

Ok, I get all that, but personally, I never equated "Red China" with pure Communism |

Nope. Red China meant the Communist parts of China before the Communists took total control. |

How is a rapacious free-market economy "red"? You confuse communism with totalitarianism. |
