Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Pleased to be here
That's where me Dad's from -- Yorkshire. He emigrated to Pennsylvania and got a PhD in something or other to do with coal.
He comes from a little town called Barton which is south of Lancashire about 35 miles. It looks like Iowa with old stone buildings a couple of centuries old. I've flown over it a few times on Google Earth but it sparked no intimations of previous reincarnations. Maybe some dim, foggy spot in East London would do the trick -- that's where me mum's from.
You see, I'm a Yorkshire-Cockney mix, born in the States and therefore did not have the benefit of the superior British elementary school system. So I think I must be the worst sort of Englishman this side of Hottentot.
Yes, I was born here, so now I'm stuck with this Yankee twang. Damn! I could have been strangely incomprehensible to anyone else speaking English anywhere in the world!
Wish I could imitate the Yorkshire lilt in text. Know any local rhymes?

Thanks for the warm welcome
Its talking to people like youselves that stops the "headless chicken" syndrome.
Sorry Carlhole, my mum used to work on the telephone exchange in the days days when they all had to speak like they were royalty so I never really picked up a Proper Yorkshire accent.
The dialect has all but died out now.
We live in a small fishing town on the North Yorkshire coast, it`s really beautiful which makes it easy sometimes to forget whats round the corner!

Heh heh... My Dad's 84 years old now and he remembers the old idiom.
