A Question about
China

How is it that a society as puritanical as
Confucian China has produced 1.2 billion people? Somewhere behind the Great Wall,there's
been an awful lot of fucking going on
that nobody's talking about. Is it the diet, the climate, a demurely concealed desire to
dominate and rule the world by sheer number, boredom (tomorrow's another day in the rice
paddies, but tonight we party), or what?
