Is China Trying To Kill U.S.? Biological Terrorism?

Odd that all the crap that has been causing us healt problems lately has been coming from China. Dogs and cats everywhere dying in mass quantities because of tainted products coming from China. Now other products from China are tainting the U.S. consumers. Now it's toothpaste which was poisoned with something akin to anti-freeze. Check out this New York Times article about the tainted toothpaste. China is blaming Panama for the tainted products, but I figure all are to blame for this one. Whomever uses poison in their products without notifying everyone is definitely liable for something. At the very least people should have a choice of whether or not they want to use poison products. People every day insert botulism into their faces so that they will have a permanently surprised looking face, but at least they know what it is when they do it as weird as they may be for doing it in the first place. Just as Canada and the U.S. are scrambling around trying to stop tainted toothpaste from killing more of their people they intercepted corn gluten from China with more poison in it. What the hell? I'm sorry for taking the offensive leap, but things are looking a little shifty. I mean come on we all know whether we want to admit it over here in America that half the Asians could beat us out in a scholastic meet on any day we choose. We aren't the brightest bulbs when compared with the rest of the planet. Don't try to shoot me full of shit and tell me that the innocent Chinese government didn't know or is somehow stupid enough to think that a little bit of anti-freeze, some plastic products and fertilizer wouldn't make a few people sick and a whole bunch of already sick people dead. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell ya. I think that our government needs to put every inch of every thing coming into the U.S. from China through rigorous testing even if it means we have to pay a bit more for the product. At least if things are tested once a month or something then we won't have as much crap zipping across the borders, and maybe the Chinese will stop trying to kill us. In the mean time people all I have to say is don't eat Chinese made products, and before you dumb rednecks go crazy and extreme please note that I am not saying don't buy products from Chinese Americans or go to Chinese restaurants.

MIT Dean of Admissions Resigns After the Discovery of her 28 Year Lie

Wow!? I think this story is interesting in all sorts of areas. Marilee Jones was well known for urging stressed out students competing for elite colleges to calm down. I guess she knew what she was talking about. No need to stress it's not nearly as hard as it seems to get into MIT. She did it with basically no credentials at all. Apparently, she fabricated her resume to get her job at MIT back in the 70's and then never corrected it when applying to other positions within the institution. Because they had all known her for so long and had known that she was capable of upstanding work they didn't check into her resume. Had it not been for the fact that she had written a book which included sections about integrity she'd likely still have a job. The whole situation kinda sucks because apparently she was doing a good job. It really sucks that an institution that works its best to keep up the whole lie that you need a degree in order to do good work and qualify for a job ended up proving the opposite. I'm assuming they gave her a choice between quitting and getting fired. Either way it sucks for all involved. This is what happens when you lie but it just goes to show you that you don't have to have letters behind your name to take care of business. It's just too bad that the rest of the world doesn't realize that fact.
