Answer:
Life Expectancy (LE) at birth using the 2011 Life Expectancy Index:
Life Expectancy Index (LEI) = (LE-20)/(83.2-20)
(1.1)
The Education Index (EI) based upon the Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI) and
Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI), where:
MYSI = Mean Years of Schooling/13.2
(1.2)
EYSI = Expected Years of Schooling/20.6
(1.3)
EI = {(MYSI x EYSI)0.5}/0.951
(1.4)
And the Income Index (II) which is based upon the Gross National Income (GNIpc) at
purchasing power parity per capita, which is an estimate and standardization of
each individuals’ income in a country:
II = {ln(GNIpc)-ln(100)}/{ln(107,721)-ln(100)}
(1.5)
The Human Development Index is determined from the geometric mean of the Life
Expectancy, Education and the Income Index:
HDI = (LEI x EI x II)1/3

THE SCANDAL.
THE CLAIMS.
“If you would ‘secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity,’ there must be some place reserved in which, and upon
which, posterity can exist. What will the blessings of liberty be worth
to posterity if you give up the country to the Chinese? If China is to
be the breeding-ground for peopling this country, what chance of
American posterity? We of this age hold this land in trust for our race
and kindred. We hold republican government and free institutions in
trust for American posterity. That trust ought not to be betrayed. If
the Chinese should invade the Pacific coast with arms in their hands,
