And while manuacturing has left and mining is damaging, it seems another industry is heading your way courtesy of the Tiger and Flies campaign in China, Gambling. It seems many of the big gamblers here in Macau are increasingly going to Australia to gamble. Could be another chapter, to volitile but fascinating story.

I wonder if it is true that today's immigrants don't want to fit in. I'd like to think that immigrants, for the most part, do wish to make a contribution to their new country. I also find myself wondering if countries are as welcoming today as they were 50 years ago. Somehow I don't think so.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642588922402729816.post-81517443402637539342016-04-06T14:03:45.177-07:002016-04-06T14:03:45.177-07:00We have screwed it up royally the last 50 years......We have screwed it up royally the last 50 years........the way it was back then - local, sustainable - made total sense.

Our town is a tourist attraction, so we are busy on weekends. We can stay home, or attend one of many wineries with music. The US on the other hand is really in a funk at the moment in my opinion.
