    Yes, another beautiful theory slain by an ugly fact. Damien Broderick

    Slain? Its a beautiful theory amplified by a
    beautiful fact. When I said free and prosperous,
    I didn't mean free to choose a leader. Leaders
    are almost irrelevant; either way you get some
    silly loser. I meant free to *make money* which
    Taiwan was under martial law. spike
