Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:It is quite interesting that the ruling elite in both the US and China somehow have missed reading these snippets!

~ King James version ~
Not collecting treasures prevents stealing.
Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.
~ from Verse 3 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Maybe we would live in a more just world if these folks paid the slightest heed to the words of Jesus and Lao Tzu!
