美国月亮比较圆 Mei Guo Yue Liang Bi Jiao Yuan ! The American Moon is indeed Rounder! !
China's youths will be commemorating May 4th tomorrow. And America's youths just commemorated April 20, "Marijuana Day." You be the judge !
Even His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, has said enough of it, "Greed." "Lack of Self-Discipline" in the Western World. And America is the lurid metaphor of this banality and sickness from within. And here they are, American white boys screaming "Bloody Coca Cola," bashing and demonizing China and the Beijing Olympics Games. The enemy is not China and its people, but themselves, from within their increasingly spiritual vapid and violence-prone American society, its drug and alcohol-dependent sick culture. Its mean violent streets and schools.
Hyperstimulation. Hyperconsumerism. Hypermaterialism. Hedonism. The 4 "H"s.
Drugs. Alcohol. Rock Manic. Sports mania. Junk Food. Violence.The all consuming epidemic we call "Affluenza." What is happening with Americans is equally happening in Western Europe. Just read about their soccer hooliganism, alcohol and drug abuse among European youths !
Asian parents: consider that our s0-called American campuses these days are no longer what they used to be. Since the '60s, American education has steadily gone downhill, wracked by dis-synchronization between academic pursuit and the exigencies of a modernizing world. And worse, the abdication of their parental role by the post-Vietnam War baby boomers have bred a new generation of "walking monsters," uncivil, impolite, rude, selfish, self-centered American kids.
Consider the following shocking story of another alcohol binge-drinking off campus at the University of California, Berkeley, resulting in the stabbing death of a 21-year old White engineering student in a violent brawl related to alcohol.

Berkeley Police Department Sgt. Mary Kusmiss said, " Alcohol did play a role in the crime. When officers arrived at the scene some of the witnesses appeared to be drunk and intoxicated."
Consider just two weeks ago, on April 20, 2008, American college kids, in observance of Marijuana Day, flocked to the University of California Santa Cruz campus to get high on drugs and smoke pot, "cannabis" marijuana, as their act of spiritual renewal, and comiscerate with each other, among potheads in the counterculture, of their self-perceived victimization and persecution. Earth Day, some of these potheads are tying this pot culture as environmentalism and againts pollution. Good Grief.

These are stories that American news media such as CNN will not report on. And talk about a free press. Let's face it - Americans are in denial that their society is unraveling from within.
And they are lashing out against CHINDIA, i.e. China and India, because White boys and girls can't compete anymore !
