This in response to a the question: Given that pollution in China kills tens of millions of people, and costs 7 to 10% of the GDP every year, what should be done about it?
*********************

As everyone known, China is one of the largest country in the world. There are a lot of people in china. Everyone think China is a very strong country, and the people in this country are much richer than the other people who lives in some other country. That's right. But the pollution in china is not little.

In China, the pollution kills about tens of millions of people every year. For example, There are a lot of people in some places, who is ill or dead. Because they drink unclear water. The water is polluted by some people. So the other people who drink it are ill, and some of them are dead. So something we eat is very easy to be polluted. But most of us don't know about it. Some people will pollution them for money.

The pollution in China is very serious. But most of us don't know about it. they think the China is large and rich. If this place is be polluted, they can come to another place to live. The most important thing is the money which they cat owe. So the pollution in china is more and more serious.

But new, people know about it. They don't pollute and stop other people polluting. So I belive the pollution in china will become less and less.

Nerd? Me?

From neongraal's site:




Hmmm, Nerdier than I expected.

Yet, is Nerdom in the control of computer geeks?

I could have gotten a higher score if they were testing for other kinds of nerdity, particularly the kinds associated with old books, libraries, second-hand book shops, new books, dictionaries (, versions of (, dead languages)), book sales, literature departments, PhDs in dead languages, catalogues (without pictures), palimpsests, paleography, manuscripts, illuminations, initials, scriptoria, incunabula, transcriptions (some of dead languages), conferences in literature departments (run by PhDs in dead languages), and people who understand that the greatest contribution of computers to society is their ability to do rapid word searches on long texts, even in dead languages.
