had friend go to china for overseas assignment - his kids had rashes within week
was there myself week before economic summit that BO was attending - it was oddly clear and sunny compared to prior visits. Found out govt literally just shutdown schools, major traffic, and suspended many biz operations a few weeks before to clear the smog and fake out the world media in attendance that they were cleaning things up.
I have been dreaming about social experiment piloting a business that was totally transparent - every communication, every cent, every agreement for all eyes to see. No NDA, No IP protection, etc etc. for something that needs transparency - like a system watching the water. The only thing that dampens it fear of evil - but maybe that's the big question - can full openness and transparency be the thing that overwhelms evil. There are more good than bad people out there.
