Jacques Rogge Says, “Leave China Alone!”

“We owe China to give them time”

– IOC President Jacques Rogge talks about China’s human rights record.

“It took us 200 years to evolve from the French Revolution. China started in 1949″

– IOC President Jacques Rogge talks about China’s human rights record.

“We all know that there were abuses under Mao and the Cultural Revolution was not a nice period. But gradually, steadily, over 60 years, they evolved, and they were able to introduce a lot of changes”

– IOC President Jacques Rogge talks about China’s human rights record.

I see one problem with Mr. Rogge’s comments. While “modern” China might have started in 1949, they have had 2,229 years to make a change for the better. True, things have improved since Mao and the Cultural Revolution, but you’d think people within China would be more prone to change for the better because of the past.

Alan Greenspan, One Day Later

I have no regrets on any of the Federal Reserve policies that we initiated back then because I think they were very professionally done

– Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan talks about the current state of the economy.

Clearly, certain of our anticipations of what would happen as a consequence of those policies were off but there’s no way of avoiding that

Consumers are beginning to shrink in, the automobile markets are beginning to contract, production is beginning to ease, and we are in the throes of recession

– Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan talks about the current state of the economy.

Everyone listens to Greenspan. Heck they listen to him more than they listen to the current Fed chairman. Get ready people, the roller coaster is about to drop again.
