So for a shiny future, we are supposed to trade away all our rights ? Forget about injustices as long as trains are clean ? We are just all supposed to be productive organic machines working for the glory of our leaders.

Fuck this future.

Clean trains? China?

I've lived in Shanghai for 5 years, a few years ago. Had a great time and learned a lot. I wouldn't necessarily describe the place as 'clean' though.

Who's we? We Americans will still have those rights. I don't know many people advocating we copy China.

What about good old Europe? Less injustices than in America, and cleaner trains, too.

Agree totally. Intelligence without wisdom is a recipe for disaster.
