I don't This isn't a stupid factor.

125
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.759
This is just something I thought was
kind of funny. In twenty thirteen,

126
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.960
China, they pass the law.
It requires children that when their parents turn

127
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.000
sixty, they must provide support for
him. They have to have frequent visits,

128
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.440
they have to help with their spiritual
needs. And kids cannot neglect their

129
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.000
parents even if they live far away. What do you think the punishment is

130
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.720
you have to move back home with
them. Well, thanks for following us

131
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.279

James Madison. Dolly died today in
