It's all US government's fault...

I was definitely depressed yesterday, due to the hard work (of editing a bad paper), the bad weather in Honolulu, and the terrible air quality in Beijing where so many of my friends work and live.

My father used to ask me if I heard anything about the "big things" that were happening in China, I tried to tell him patiently that the US media works for the US people, not for the Chinese government. Well, I was wrong, sort of. The NPR never let go of the news about PM2.5 being 25 times of the "limit" for human tolerance all day yesterday, and continued today. I wonder how much the US government is responsible for the pollution in China. I bet a lot. You have to blame someone when things go bad. Since we are not allowed to blame the Chinese government, because there were no sunspots since we can't see them with our one eyes (without using instruments), let's blame the US government.

So, why is the US government at fault? First, if the US government never allowed private car ownership, then the Chinese government would never have dreamed up such a thing. The same can be said about the GDP, fashion, housing, etc. The list goes on  and on. Oh, let's not forget about the damn SCI Index!
