- Serious drought in China generally requires assistance from the masses to offer prayers to the Gods . In the past I had seen an old grandmother kneeling on the parched dry fields , and her granddaughter watching her . I tho far away across the Pacific Ocean shall join them .

- Spoiled Americans have no idea what you"re people have gone through and apparently still are going through. Americans take their water, and everything else for that matter. almost entirely for granted. It"s only a matter of time before the Chinese start wondering why fat spoiled Americans enjoy a land of milk and honey, of vast farmland and of abundant freshwater while the hardworking Chinese scrape and claw while loaning America all the money they need to continue living beyond their means.
