[ot_caving] China and other related topics
This e-mail is brought to you by Oatmeal To Go - America's favorite caving snack. http://www.quakeroatmeal.com/qo_ourProducts/images/productShots/otgBakedApple.jpg It was reported today on CaveTex that China is prohibiting cavers from collecting GPS locations of caves. I don't think that is our biggest concern with China. They could annex the USA in a few short years, and order us to stop pro-creating daughters. However, we may not live long enough to witness that. They may be trying to secretly attack us on all fronts. For example, look at all the Americans eating at China Buffets. Their goal is to simply feed us to death. Their other strategy is to make 100 percent of our medicines. Then they will just slowly poison us off. Then they plan to send their women over here, so that the next generation of Americans will be Chinese Americans. And add to that all the other countries that have a similar strategy - Mexico for example. There simply is no way we will ever go back to Mayberry. I married a Mexican girl. She will probably never become a US citizen.She has no desire to assimilate or learn English.Her mom who stays with us almost half the time, has not a single drop of desire to do anything American. My wonderful daughter who is 3 1/2 is considered Mexican- American. My hope is that this trait will help her in the life ahead. But deep down inside I am concerned that there will always be people who resent people with mixed heritage.
