    I knew very little about Taiwan's history, so I
    googled up a short selection.

    Did you know for example, that Taiwan was a Japanese
    colony from 1895-1945, and only returned to Chinese
    control in Oct 1945? I didn't. Much happened in
    those fifty years to create differences between these
    two chinas. Those fifty years, and the fifty since,
    bear on the current situaton, no?

    Check it out.

    the dirtball I currently happen to be on, and which
    monkey tribe happens to reside therein.

    Only by taking the big view we can make it a common
    dream, and then a reality. It's worth it."
