I’m not really sure what to make of China’s latest unwelcome export.

Lead in toys, antifreeze in toothpaste, dumplings made out of cardboard… what exactly is going over there in the People’s Republic? I’m certainly no expert, but it seems to me that this is what happens when profit comes before all else. While China may be ostensibly a Communist country, it really isn’t. Rather, it’s a capitalist economy managed by the state, and when there are no safeguards in place that might interfere with the state’s income, you get… well, you get what we’re dealing with now.

MA mentioned Circus World in a recent post. I would have liked to visit Six Gun Territory back before it closed in 1984.
