Naive And Gullible

Americans Have Become Too Naive And Gullible
By David Hallstrom

The other day, as I do everyday, I was reading the letters to the editor section in that conservative, right wing newspaper, the Los Angeles Times (For those of you that do not understand sarcasam, stating that the Los Angeles Times is a conservative, right wing newspaper was a sarcastic comment.). As I was reading the first letter I started laughing and then I stopped laughing as I realized how pathetic the letter actually was. The letter talked about promoting American values by example and it used China as it's illustration of how countries have changed their values due to America's example. The letter stated that because of America's example "China is turning into the worlds biggest capitalist country".

How naive, gullible and moronic can a person be. China is not a capitalist country. Their leaders still believe strongly in Communism. Almost all big or profitable businesses are owned by the government, it's military, it's bank or by front people who are allowed to live well as long as they follow their government's dictates and do not open their mouths. If the front people do not follow orders they are arrested on trumped up charges and any part of any business that the may actually own is confiscated. China does have a stock market, however the majority of the stock in the larger companies listed on their exchange is owned by the government or it's fronts.
