Take lessons from China.They not only are the worlds best at reclaiming land,but also the best at building islands from scratch.The world's left wingers are fighting their efforts tooth and nail because they want desperately to pursue the global warming issue,and the reclaiming of land is diametrically opposed to their agenda.As difficult as it may be for Smith Islanders to imagine,an across the board Democratic majority will not bode well for them.
