With all this air traffic, I wonder why I never say — what are called — "chemtrails" while living in Kunming like I have in the USA, Europe, and Japan?

Chris,

Good one! Hah! I met someone in Chiang Mai who was telling me that her husband was abducted by aliens. And then I met a ex-pat doctor who told me that he had a patient with a chip implanted in his spine. So who knows?

At any rate, I was just relaying an observation (the same observation that probably at least 500 other people saw that same evening) -- and not an interpretation, though it seems that my response was being prematurely interpreted. Go figure! Some people are just too smart for their own pants! :) What can you do? The "conspiracy theorist" thing had to do with research I have done on the dangers of EMR, which is pretty much an established fact. See the Bioinitiative: www.bioinitiative.org/ (two of which the authors are Chinese). However, rather than trying to find the truth about things some people would rather just try to "win the argument." peace

I posted a comment about a year ago where I described walking down WenlinJie -- about four years ago when I was visiting Kunming for the first time -- and seeing all the people on the street looking and pointing up at the sky. Some of them were taking photos with their cell phones. I looked up and saw a white light fly across the sky and immediately thought it was a meteor shower. However, the white light started hovering back. It looked like an orb of white light and it seemed to be conscious and was hovering above us. I and a group of Chinese people followed it down to Green Lake where it eventually disappeared into the clouds. However, when I posted this story, some anonymous smart ass attacked me and called me all kinds of names. When I talked to Chris about this, he decided to delete the story from this forum and commented that some "people" think I am a conspiracy theorist. However, my comments are based on both experience and research. "Conspiracy theorist" is just a word invented by certain people to keep people from truly looking at the truth. It is similar to the terms "Junk Science" or "Pseudo Science" which anyone with any critical thinking skills would realize as any "science" which threatened corportate profits. peace, prd34

With 300 new cars being added to the roads of Kunming daily, this will only be a temporary solution. In the long term, improvements in public transportation (like we have seen in Bangkok with their new subway system and tramway system) would do much more to improve the traffic situation in Kunming. High taxes on the people buying cars (and polluting the environment/contributing to global warming) and catalytic converters to halt the pollution coming from automobiles might also be a solution for keeping the city of Kunming clean and green in the near future. Then it might even be a good idea to market the city as the cleanest and greenest in China. Just because China is a developing country doesn't mean that they can't develop "Smart."
