  1. Not to worry … just retrain them to make windmills, solar panels, and puppy dog tails

  2. More likely the People’s Liberation Army will have 1.8 million new recruits.
    Is it time to worry in that case?

    Here is the frustration and competition reaching it’s tipping point in China already. Coming to a city near you…humanity is losing its ability to be self controlled.
    And the governmental authorities and atheists insist that eliminating all belief in God will be a good thing. Self control is a gift that is nurtured and grown, but rooted in “reason” alone will get these kind of results more frequently and escalating in severity.

  4. We are all about to live in interesting times.
    The next question is what about the second half of the curse?
    Will we come to the attention of the authorities?
