China's share is a big enough chunk to cause damage.arevamirpal::laprimaverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637620330944911600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-72190827063686246592012-09-18T20:40:50.274-07:002012-09-18T20:40:50.274-07:00Yeah, young people have something to lose.

Although, even if we had young people in charge, there's still plenty of room for human flaws like greed and ignorance.<br /><br />Generally, nothing should be left to a single person or a few biased people. Personally, I try to be objective, I try to get information from multiple sources, and I don't take action unless I'm confident that I've covered as many angles as possible.<br /><br />In contrast, the people running everything only consider what's good for them and their buddies, and as long as they don't get into trouble, it's all good. That's not the way things should be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-55412024105892627812012-09-18T20:37:11.351-07:002012-09-18T20:37:11.351-07:00$230 billion?

The elder can still be advisors, I guess, but they should not run the show. IMO nobody older than 50 should be in command - I'm already approaching that age, so I think I know what I'm talking about. <br />Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-44978408968378065152012-09-18T19:14:06.793-07:002012-09-18T19:14:06.793-07:00They wanted a distraction, they got it.
