QUOTE OF THE DAY: One of Andrew Sullivan's readers suggests a reason for China's unparalleled efficiency. "One reason China may be a bit more efficient than the United States is that they don’t have any debates, about anything, because it’s a Communist country.  Let’s see, we need to build a really long hazardous bridge project, and we have billions of unskilled laborers whom we can force to work on the project with little pay because we don’t respect human rights.  Let’s get cracking.  That’s a lot easier discussion than dealing with Unions, regulations regarding worker safety, project design, etc."
