Just to think about how we're (USA) going to support the baby boom generation in
retirement and that there are four times as many humans in China with little in
the way of future generations to support those. Of course their family
structure is different than ours most likely. Still with 1,200,000,000 people
there I would too find it hard to believe slave labor does not exist. Someday I
hope to find out for myself first hand - inspired by this RUSH song.

Tai Shan
High on the sacred mountain
Up the seven thousand stairs
In the golden light of autumn
There was magic in the air
The clouds surrounded the summit
The wind blew strong and cold
Among the silent temples
And the writing carved in gold
Somewhere in my instincts
The primitive took hold.
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity
If you raise your hands to heaven
You will live a hundred years
I stood there like a mystic
Lost in the atmosphere
The clouds were suddenly parted
For a moment I could see
The patterns of the landscape
Reaching to the eastern sea
I looked upon a presence
Spanning forty centuries.
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity
I thought of time and distance
The hardships of history
I heard the hope and the hunger
When China sang to me...
When China sang to me.
