China and US will switch places

I've been watching the United States slip farther and farther into fascism over the last 20 years or so and with the patriot act, the slipping is becoming a headlong rush.

The strength of the United States came from its people and as the U.S. government becomes more repressive, the weaker the country is becoming. Eventually we will start having trouble feeding ourselves.

During the same time period, it seems like the government of China has finally figured out communism is nothing but a giant suck on a sour lemon, responsible for starvation and misery rather than being any sort of workers paradise. As the centeral government relaxes its hold and trusts its own people, the country is becoming more and more prosperous.

I am very excited that China will replace the U.S. as "a land of the free, home of the brave". When the people of China regain their power, they will change the world.

I hope only that in a hundred or two hundred years when China is free and strong... I hope you will look across the Pacific Ocean and remember that those Americans suffering under tyranny are the grandchildren of the people who stood with China, fought for and eventually helped free China from the Japanese in WWII.

If some of those future people manage to escape the United States, I hope China will give them sanctuary out of respect for the one thing we did right.
