[quote=GRIZ326                 ,31822]You make excellent points, Pinetree.But each modern innovation exacts a payment from the soul. When I was a little boy, my mother and father would spell the word divorce at the dinner table because they did not want to expose us to something that was considered disgraceful. They were concerned that we would believe divorce was normal/acceptable. The free sex movement in the US, the feminist movement, the homosexual movement and the sympathetic media coverage and hollywood movie productions of these things has contributed greatly to the corruption of humankind's soul.For instance, in the news in the US today, a jailed murderer is claiming that he has the constitutional right to a sex change operation...at taxpayer's expense!There is much more to exlife's question than ancient tourist sites preserved for rich tourists.  To my eyes China is already paying dearly for modernization and new affluence. In our shore leave briefing in 1978, the only crime worth mentioning in China then was rape. I had a merchant run all the way down Nanjing Boulevard to the waterfront to return a few fen to me because he had over charged me for something.In 2006 I witnessed killing (newspaper report), theft, prostitution, and cheating. It seemed to be widespread (except for the killing).  Divorce is common now. Children do not continue to live with their parents? Chinese society always took care of the old ones by keeping them with the family. What happens now.The price tag for Western living is devastatingly high. The Chinese people must find a way to guide the leadership along this perilous path.[/quote]
