Overheard in my kitchen this morning.
#3: “So Chinese people don’t believe in God?”
#2: “They can’t. It’s against the law.”
#3: “Why?”
#2: “I think it’s so the people in charge can be the gods. They only get to have one baby, too”
#3: “What do they do if they have another one? Kill it?”
#2: “Yeah. They kill them or punish the parents.”
#3: “That’s not very nice.”
#2: “They’re Communists. I don’t think they’re worried about nice.”
Indeed.
