What does it mean when the president of China comes here and stops to see Bill Gates before the Mr. bush?

Corporations are in charge. The federal government now works for corporations, instead of the people they represent. Its saddening because most people don't even care, and think it is supposed to be this way. Apathy has killed all the great Republics of the past, and so it will cause America to fall as well. :(

With a big Microsoft research center in China, it appears the Chinese Prez knows what's more important. Meeting with the twit-in-chief is a mere formality while he must be serious with Gates. Money talks and bullshit walks, you know. Guess which is which here.
