Perhaps I am oversimplifying and perhaps I am merely observing a fact of geometry, being the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Obviously, by now, America is dependant upon our trade with China. This nation's largest employer, Walmart, shelves a great percentage of their stock from China. China has gone from a country behind a big wall to a major global player and it does appear that the US has been instrumental in that fact. It was the administration of Richard Nixon that "got behind the wall" in the early 70's. Clearly, there is no doubt that between the space race, military, and exports, China is now a major contender. I happened on to an interesting article about information dating back to the days of Mao and Henry Kissinger. As a numbers freak, I just happened to notice this meeting took place the same year that abortion became legal in the US. The article has been linked and can be accessed by clicking on the title of this blog. The same year, 1973, that the US Supreme Court declared abortion to be a solution to unwanted pregnancy, Mao offered the US thousands of women, because they had too many. Now, this didn't make the big headline news at the time, at least not that I am aware, but in retrospect, something occurred to me. I realize the anti-choice voice is bringing up the loss of Social Security contributors in the work force since abortion, but I don't agree with their argument, as I consider abortion to be of more consequence, than "my free ride." As abortion increased in the US, and single motherhood lost it's stigma, or not, but shotgun weddings became seen for what they truly were, US adoption became international.
Through the Reagan years, adoption of baby girls from China became common place. Couples in America that tired of the legal hoops of adoption, went to China and got baby girls. Couples that didn't meet the American criteria for adoption, went to China and got baby girls. As available babies became scarce in America, they were still abundant in China. As a matter of fact, after 1979, baby girls were in exceding excess in China, and more than two was illegal.
When I found this archived article, I couldn't help but think of the history of events since China
came out from behind the wall and "made in America" became history. China has had about 30 years to assemble a highly aggressive army, as the men now outnumber the women. The exports of toys to America outnumber America's toys to China.
Did China find the perfect way to conquer America without firing a shot? Simply legislate their population control, and America, while eliminating their own babies, jumps in to save the day, adopting females by the thousands. What better way for a non-materialistic, hardworking country to rule. Let Americans spend thousands to adopt future shoppers, spend thousands on their
imported toys through their formative years, then America can support the next generation of children
born right here in the states, to these now grown, baby girls from China, playing with toys made in China.
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished . . .And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life Torah of Holy Scripture
