Hi Paul,

It was very fresh and lively. The dissident youngster walking down lanes in old Beijing, criticising the rapid demolition of the hutongs and using a disgusting metaphor, was a gem of direct speech imo.

I hope they show it again. Preferably 1 day before the Olympic Opening Cere-moaney.

Glad to see there’s still a lot of people in China who haven’t been fooled and brainwashed by capitalism the way many of us are in the West. Loved the program, what I saw of it.

Peter Cundall, now there’s a bloke to admire for real achievements.

Did anyone see “The Cars that Ate China” on telly? One Chinese woman complained that the new rich were too rich, and it would be better if there was more equality. Sounded like commie talk to me. One can only hope that ~~The Emperor~~ the government has the situation in hand! We can’t have a rebellion during the Games, now, can we?

Robert Merkel, you certainly have the power to close down debate since you placed the interesting post.

I just have to say that i think it was unnecessary and heavy handed to pull the plug in this case. Far too precious, with a bullying tinge, IMHO.

Mark: 12 words per second is a fantastic typing rate. Is this a side benefit of {thesis} typesetting?

Thanks Joe2. The Scott Parkin fiasco no less.

Our clients have told the court that there was no basis for the adverse security assessment, that they had done nothing that would make them a threat to Australia’s national security,” she said.

“In response legal counsel for ASIO acknowledged that may be the case but the adverse security assessment may have been made because of people who they associated with, even if they (were) not aware of the implications of the associations at the time.

Nor aware of one implication of the “implications”, namely the association with people whose propensity for being security risks remained undoubtedly unknown even to Scott Parkin.

So I guess that the security risk “disease” was highly contagious in that election year, when a certain cunning rat runt saw bubonic plague descending on his house.

[Well, that’s it. The Worst Australian has finally lost all touch with reality. Today’s headline:-

“Barnett Could Lead Libs to Landslide”

Umm, I know the WA government ain’t that great (though they’re not bad either, by the appallingly low standards of state governments), and I know that a small cat called Herbert could do a better job of Lib leader than Tory Thugswell, but come on people………]

Plus there is speculation that the Election will be called for September 20th

Paul @ 17 why not just copy and paste into the email, no need to retype. Do a paste as plain text.

Also, getting a mac might help!
