Chinese leader Mao Zedong proposed sending 10 million Chinese women to the United States, in talks with top envoy Henry Kissinger in 1973, according to documents released Tuesday.[...]
In a long conversation that stretched way past midnight at Mao's residence on February 17, 1973, the cigar-chomping Chinese leader referred to the dismal trade between the two countries, saying China was a "very poor country" and "what we have in excess is women."
He first suggested sending "thousands" of women but as an afterthought proposed "10 million," drawing laughter at the meeting, also attended by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai.
Kissinger, who was President Richard Nixon's national security advisor at that time, told Mao that the United States had no "quotas" or "tariffs" for Chinese women, drawing more laughter.
Yuk. Yuk.
Because men have made such a smashing success of this world.
What we have in excess is testosterone. (Although our pollution, particularly in the form of chemical pesticides, is rapidly taking care of that.)
If Hillary Clinton were actually a woman instead of a politician, I’d want to vote for her.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
