I knew I should have checked my pings before posting the AP/Yahoo story. I heard the story last night on the radio--this should be big news! Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. is well-known as a front company with ties to the Chinese govt and military.
A quote from someone in that age bracket they are trying to attract:
"I felt it was my duty to do what I could for this organization, but people my age were basically ignored by the wiser ones. It seemed like all they wanted us to do is march and make a fuss while our enemies have moved to more effective methods to contain us. We need to find other way to get our people ahead..."
My concern is not to let another Dark Ages happen. That would be truly a set back for civilization.
That will only happen if we completely lose the use of technology or it become monopolized by the wealthy. More likely, the gov't with the help of corporations will completely take over during a serious global panic with people's blessings out of fear of losing their comfy status.
Or the future generations will simply start to "reduce the redundant"...
Rock late Monday said the comments were taken out of context. And quite frankly, most of the jokes in this article are being taken out of context. The 1st 10 minutes of this act (think it was Never Scared) he was talking about how happy he was to be an American and how anyone who served in the military earned citizenship and should be respected. Someone is doing a great smear job.
Thank you! Sometimes Drudge and his sources go overboard...
