China and India are too primitive, too dirty, and too big to be allowed to play...

Heaven forbid another country, worse ye,t one with a culture and way of life which you consider to be "dirty" and "primitve" grow economically.
China and India are fast overtaking the West economically , you see they are working hard to make consumers out of themselves. Their growing middle classes also want TVs and new cars and they are starting to be able to afford to buy them.

The charts are very telling. I prefer a chart to figures any day...it gives a better representation of what's really happening over time.
I have to agree, the naivete of the masses never ceases to amaze me. To this day, in my regular conversations with neighbors and friends, I still hear "Well, the stock marked closed higher today, so the worst is over! Happy days are here again!". Moronic..... Is is that they truly don't have a grip on reality, or is it that they're are scared to death of reality, and don't want to face it?
Super research! Congrats.
