I have been thinking about the poor mom who died in the “Can you hold your Wee for Wii”. Is she hero or just crazy? What are radio stations thinking these days? Not to mention the people who choose to participate and to listen to this stuff. I will confess listening to “will a turkey eat turkey”. However, if the Wii stuff was on my local station I would have immediataley popped in one of my stellar mixed CDS.

Does a “hanbaobao” taste better in Chinese?

Do they charge more for a Xingbake ka fe?

i came back from my nation’s capital recently. spent 2-3 days there before boarding the 16 hr flight to ny. none of those feelings however. yes, similar dc chinatownish things are happening, but overall sometimes i was appalled by the lack of respect for the nation’s monuments there. but there are people (quite a few) who feel strongly about them and want to maintain and preserve them. i am deeply inspired to get back into history and learn more about what made those times different and why society there failed to build on accomplishments, india has to be the epitome of such failures. most cultures have one or two advanced societies that existed and then disintegrated but india seems to have them throughout, and yet, overall it lags behind most progressive economies. i think the fundamental reason is laziness embodied in the lack of imperialistic tendencies. you get your rice and curry and the slaves to do your work, who cares about world conquest?
