Go to that kast paragraph, that’s the meat – getting China to comply. I’ve been waiting for China’s expanding hi-seas fishing fleet to start gettin Chinese navy escorts for what appear to be inevitable showdowns with the international Japanese fleets.
China’s the world’s second largest consumer economy and food’s getting to be the big thing – how long do you think it’s going to take for China to start gobbling up the sea’s resources as it is the land’s, the US’s in particular?
China’s got some 20% of the world’s population but only about 10% of its land is arable and that spells ‘FEED ME’ just like the US’s overweight population did when we started outbidding other nations forvthe foid they grew. Jes sayin…
China ain’t building its economic and military powers just to let some striped pants international crooks call the plays.

If you followed the TV show ER, they played this at Dr Mark Green’s funeral. I always think of that when I hear it. It was the first time I had heard this version and it was perfect for the show’s much loved character. Very touching.

My personal opinion is that this crap should change and it should be uniform across all states. Now that more people across the country are more aware of the screwed up process, the Republican party could gain voters if they said, “we’re not going to be like the democratic party who have ‘super delegates’ and don’t let their voters decide the nominee.”
I know they won’t do that though because they’re stupid and want the elites in power.

It turned out well. Vanilla ice-cream on the outside and top and chocolate in the center. Heath chocolate bites for some crunch and topped with whip cream. I won’t be there when they cut into it so I don’t know how it will look inside.
It was really easy. Mix ice-cream in the mixer, form it in a springform pan (lined with parchment paper and no bottom but parchment paper underneath), let it harden, mix ice-cream for filling, fill the shell, let it harden, do the same for a top layer of ice-cream and decorate however you would like.
