Wow. China's wealthiest village...  Every resident in this village has AT LEAST a car, a house, and a quarter of a million dollars in the bank.

Meanwhile, back in America, we have idiots fighting on both sides of the aisle instead of working together to accomplish something positive.

Lou

I always have trouble with inclusiveness.  And I see the circumstances often come down to who has what.  If A has money and B has money, but C doesn't, then A and B tend to migrate together, excluding C.  It happens time and time again.  Whether it's who gets to join a fraternity/sorority or who gets preferential treatment, say in hospitals, or who gets to live in what neighbourhood.  I can see where it seems good that the Chinese neighbourhood pulls together, under the leadership of a specifically chosen person, as the results are impressive.  And I will even agree that some people have more money, simply because they work harder.  But to come to a point where you have to have so much money, so many cars etc. to live somewhere, creates boundaries that will never help the people outside of the "chosen few"...and they tend to make up the majority of the whole.  Thus the division of rich and poor, not only exists, but widens constantly.  And I'm afraid that the further people get away from each other, the less help they can be to each other, because they just don't understand each other at all.  Thus the sayings: The rich get richer, and the poor have babies! and Never the twain shall meet...  I'm sorry, but that division is not natural and no good can come of it in the long run.  And to have physical barriers only invites the have-nots to harbour deep grievances, gradually work up into a situation where the select are no longer safe, always resented, hated...  And we all know where hate can led...  If you don't. then read all about Nazi Germany and the concentration camps...  Realistically, there will always be those who have more.  But to flaunt it, constantly gain on the backs of others, will not create better people or a better society, but rather an isolated group and a deteriorating society.  Just my opinion.

Ann,

Thanks for your thoughtful response! I sometimes like videos that provoke higher level of thinking and that's why I shared this. ( I also like the simple fun videos!). After reading your message, I couldn't help but think of Stephen Covey's message contrasting abundance mentality with a scarcity complex. Here's some of what he says:

"Most people are deeply scripted in what I call the Scarcity Mentality. They see life as having only so much, as though there were only one pie out there. And if someone were to get a big piece of the pie, it would mean less for everybody else.

The Scarcity Mentality is the zero-sum paradigm of life. People with a Scarcity Mentality have a very difficult time sharing recognition and credit, power or profit – even with those who help in the production. The also have a very hard time being genuinely happy for the success of other people.

The Abundance Mentality, on the other hand, flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. It is the paradigm that there is plenty out there and enough to spare for everybody. It results in sharing of prestige, of recognition, of profits, of decision making. It opens possibilities, options, alternatives, and creativity."

IMHO, I agree with Covey: If A has money and B has money, there really isn't less available for C.

Lou

Hahahahaha!   :laugh: Thanks for the laugh Lou.  I really needed that.   :clap:

What a great funny man! Thanks!  :thumbsup:

Lou,

Thank you for your rejoinder, Lou.  Frankly, I expected the discussion to come to a full stop with my modest diatribe or that I would be called one of those so-called "socialists" from that country to the north...  So you can imagine my pleasure in receiving a response with some solid thought in it.  It's not that I doubt that anyone in this group could make a good reply, could in all probably could do better than I, but that I don't think they would bother... So, thank you.

The minute I saw the video, I will admit that my back went up...  I've seen and still see, too many similar circumstances, as described in the video and, as a Socialist (yes, I will admit it, and no I'm not a Communist!)  I reacted rather strongly to it.  So I am very interested in your thoughtful response.

I will admit that I've never heard of Stephen Covey, but you peaked my curiosity.  So I went and did some research on who this man is and what his basic statement is...  Is he a realist or a dreamer.  Can he back up what he says or is he just blowing in the wind.  And after a somewhat fast perusal, I think that I can say that he is a man of principle, who is wise in the ways he divides factions up, making good clear examples of how he views the world.  I certainly will read some of his books -- the most interesting one to me, first off, being "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People".  I may get back to you on what I think of him and his ways...

His division of people, who see life as only one piece of pie (the Scarcity Mentality) vs those who see enough pie out there for everyone (the Abundance Mentality) is curious to me.  If the former group represents those who cannot happily share and are not happy with the success of others, as they are always having to protect their position, and the latter group, those who confident enough to share and be happy for everyone around him, then I have trouble placing these people who have $250,000, a car and a home in this city of ultimate achievement.

I feel that in a way, they see the world as a place where they've pulled themselves up, perhaps/probably stepping on others as they climbed, to achieve this small, but big to them, achievement -- a place in this special winners' circle, and that would make them members of the Scarcity Mentality.  They have grabbed their piece of the pie to join other people, who have also grabbed their piece.  And to heck with what that leaves over for anybody else below them.  And, too, they guard their position strongly, for fear of someone coming along, who has an even bigger piece of the pie, who gets the bigger house and threatens the level at which they have been forced to stop.  I'm sure the rivalry in this kind of community is high all the time, a constant "keeping ahead of the Woos" battle going on.  For if the Woos have 2 cars, where does that leave the Chows with only one car?  Frankly, I can't see it as a comfortable place to live, as the constant, constant competition must be wearing...  I certainly see this kind of community in Toronto, such as Forest Hill and Rosedale.  When studying them, you can practically feel...sense the constant rumblings, shifting going on as one threatens another, not physically, but by displaying one-upmanship...  Yes, people are proud of their address, but happy – only if they are very secure in their opinion of themselves! 

And yet, if I'm reading you correctly, you would put these renowned house owners in the Abundance Mentality...  From this point on my counterpoint to the situation will crash, if I've read you wrong...and I will apologize...  But I believe that you are seeing these people, as those who have a deep inner sense of personal worth and security.  That they represent an outstandingly clear example of what will result from the sharing of prestige, of recognition, of profits, of decision making, which opens possibilities, options, alternatives, and creativity."  And I say that you are dreaming, if you thing that this is what is going on...  If you think these people are going to share with the population of China, to ultimately create one big city for all to be equal and recognized as such, I really can’t see it.

No, I just can't...  Just from the basic principle of why these specific people are where they are and others aren't, plays havoc with organizational tributes you are giving these people.  I'm sorry, but I just can't see that picture.  I've seen and studied, from a socio-economical view point, too many such communities.  They may be sympathetic to the little people, who have only a tiny slice of the pie, they may even share a little bit of their pie.  But, basically, they are where they are and can do whatever they do, only because they believe there is only one pie and heaven forbid that someone with only a medium portion should try to become "one of us"!!  I just can’t believe that the general collection of these homeowners fall into that category of the Abundance Theory...  Just from what we saw in the video, these are high achievers, who have no real respect for non-achievers, and have no love whatsoever for the middle achievers, who might threaten their position...

Perhaps I'm being cynical in my old age...  Perhaps I'm just a double doubter.  Perhaps I didn't listen carefully enough to the video...pick up some vibes...  But the way I see it, we still have a "have" community, surrounded by a country full of "have-nots"...  A few successful individuals, who have their good sized piece of the pie and the rest, who have little, probably always only have at small share, and....Never The Twain Shall Meet!

After seeing Christina Aguilera screw up the National Anthem in Sunday's Superbowl, I thought I'd offer a look back at Whitney Houston's singing of it in Superbowl XXV. If I remember correctly, the year was 1991 - the year that Scott Norwood missed what was to be the winning field goal 'wide to the right', sending Buffalo home winless in the first of their four Superbowl appearances.

HOWEVER, what really made this national anthem special for me, and perhaps for others, was this was  during the early days of Operation Desert Storm, in which we were all watching television broadcasts of US warplanes attacking Baghdad, Kuwait and other military targets in Iraq for the first time - while Iraq had launched SCUD missile attacks of their own only a handful of days before the Superbowl.  I remember how worried I was about the world.  But I also remember how proud I felt as she sung this song. This is how the song should be sung!

Star Spangled Banner(American Anthem) God Bless America (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h9NN5FhJ7I#)

Lou

YES, YES, YES!!!!!

I remember watching her sing...had tears! Great video Paul. Thank you!

Clearly, no other person has sung the anthem as well as Whitney did at that superbowl. I remember it well!  :clap:

Don't rock the Anthem. Don't hop-hop it. Don't pimp it. Don't boogie it. Just sing it right! Get some high school kid from the neighbourhood and ask him or her to do it right! It does not need twists and turns and rubbish phrasing. Sing it straight! I am always soooooo embarrassed when I hear these hot rock people go at it. Just get up there, cut the rubbish and sing! Hand on heart and sing!

GO BOBBIE!!  :2thumbsup:

I'm with you!  Our National Anthem isn't some trendy rock song.  I feel the same about what some of them do to Christmas Carols.  Keep the theatrics on the stage at THEIR OWN concerts, and spare us the rubbishing of classics.

Didn't a cop, firefighter, or soldier sing the National Anthem after 9/11?

It was incredible being there.  I remember the tailgate parties in the parking lot before the game.  It didn't matter if you were a Giants fan or a Buffalo fan, everyone was friendly.  We parked near the guy who ended up being the big pink energizer bunny.  lol  Nice guy.  He was worried because of the heightened security.  None of the company mascots were being allowed into the game. 

Everyone was forced thru small entry points at ground level.  Everyone was swiped by metal detectors.  I remember almost walking into someone on the way in.  I looked up and whoa!  I had come face to face with Warren Moon!  He said excuse me and went on his way.

During the breaks in the game, they would show our troups live on the big screens.  They were watching the game from wherever they were stationed. 

When the game was almost ready to start and Whitney Houston walked out onto the field, their was a hush.  Every person stood up, hands over hearts, hats off.  Then she started singing.  To this day I believe it was the best rendition of our national anthem ever.  By the end of the song, the applause and roar from the crowd rose into the beautiful, warm Tampa sky.  That's when we heard a louder roar.  It was my first flyover and I could not have been prouder. 

Thanks for posting this reminder Lou.

Wide right..   :(

Some may remember this video. If you had a PC with Win95 back in the 90's, this video came out as a freebie w/ the operating system. I remember watching it on my 'fast' Quantex DX2 266 mhz computer that I spent two grand on.

This is Edie Brickell, singing 'Good Times, Bad Times'.

You may also know that she is the wife of Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel). She had a lukewarm career herself, never making it big, but this is one of my favorites.

WOW!!!  That was something!

 I always try to watch the take offs & landings...I will miss the shuttles...

I'm surprised that planes would be allowed in the airspace close enough to tape that,but then what do I know?! :rolleyes:

Ah, I just feel like some good ol' classic Neil Young tonite. Grab yer partner and sway to the broom sweeps in this sweet melody.

 :mbanana:  Thanks Louigi, I love Neil Young!  bguitar

Me Too, thanks!

Neil Young, a musician of whom all Canadians are so proud, has always been a big favourite of mine, right up there with Joanie Mitchell.  Their music is endlessly relevant.  I love this song.  Also his 1971 Massey Hall concert album.  Can listen to that for hours.  Have it on my MP3 to accompany all my walks.  Thanks for your reaffirmation that lots of people still think of him and enjoy his music, Lou!
