Since the questions seem to be taken over by the chamber of commerce for Ningbo, lets all ask a few questions to clear it out. I'll start. Have you ever been genuinely afraid for your physical safety?

I served nine years in the Army, and saw live fire on three continents. I've seen good friends killed, been pulled under rip currents with heavy gear and slogged through leech infested jungle for weeks. 

On my first overseas assignment, I was a couple hundred yards away from the Marine barracks in Beirut in '83, when it detonated. Unspeakable carnage. 8 days in-country. A baptism of blood. 

Afraid? Nothing scares me anymore.

From the streets of the early Bronx, to the jungles of Nam, to the deserts of the Middle East and a few other places I have had several incidents when I really thought it was the end for me.

Nothing like what you friends have been through. Wow, my heart goes out to each of you.

I know Danae's fear!

I grew up in such neighbourhood - I lived in perpetual fear of being beaten to pulp?

We are light that lives forever.
