Olympic Sickness

As I watch the Chinese 'girls' gymnastics beat the US women, it makes me sick to think that a nation like China had to cheat their ages in order to make them qualify at the 16 years of age limitation. I don't care how you slice it or justify it, my 11 year old nephew looks older than some of these girls. But then I thought, China steals everything...From the innovation of the U.S. and Europe in electronics, avionics, automation, and many other sectors, the Chinese have effectively either conducted industrial or government espionage, or convinced corporations to set up shop in their countries to effectively steal the technology. China's growth parallels their ability to cheat and steal from others. Sure they had a great and rich history, but up until the middle of the last 1000 years, they have been a poor struggling nation. Lesson learned kids,, Cheating does take you far...
