Coincidence

Are we under attack?

Seems like an odd question doesn't it? But I think it's a question worth asking. Most of us are familiar with what has been going on with the massive toy recalls in recent weeks. A very large number of toys have been recalled for containing lead paint, and a very high percentage of them were made in China. It's no secret that the Chinese government (which controls nearly all aspects of Chinese culture, life and infrastructure) has no love for the USA. Don't get me wrong, they don't hate us the way the Islamic terrorists do, but they really don't like us. In fact, there isn't much that they would like better than to see the US fall as a major world power. So, when they start sending us toys that could potentially do great damage to our children, and thus, the future of our country, I think we need to take a hard look at it.

OK, I don't want to seem like a conspiracy theorist, or some kind of crazy person, but honestly, shouldn't we always try to dig a little deeper, and make sure that this is not what is going on. We have a tendency to stand back when things like this happen and say, "Hmm, no big surprise, they don't have the same industrial standards that we do," and I don't deny that it is very possible that this is all that we are dealing with, sheer incompetence. That being said, however, shouldn't we still be suspicious and closely scrutinize what is going on in the world as it pertains to us?

So many people today are concerned with being a good citizen of the world, that they ignore the fact that they are, first and foremost, a citizen of the USA.

Anyway, the point that I want to make is, don't we owe it to our children to take these things seriously, and not take a lackadaisical attitude toward them, not only for their current health and well being today, but also for the future of the nation that they will inherit, hopefully still a Superpower.
