I see the Hong Kong protest folks are getting more destructive and violent hoping/demanding to get a savage response from Beijing so then they can Cry Freedom! Help Us! Independence! Democracy! But that isn't going to happen. The island is just going into a very deep economic recession, that's all. They brought it on themselves. They'll just have to work their way out of that as these years go sailing by.

I do like this Turkish fable: "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the Axe, for the Axe was clever and convinced the Trees that because his handle as made of wood, he was one of them"

About Me

My photo
JOHN Fitzpatrick
乌龟。 议院。 The Blog is sometimes serious, other times attempts are made at Humour.谢谢你,中国!我爱中国! I'm interested in North Asia-China, Japan and Korea, and Siberia; and also SE Asia, particularly Bangkok where we sometimes live when not in North Eastern China or North Eastern Australia. My wife and I do tend to commute a lot. Politically, if that matters, I'm usually on the side of strong central socialism in one form or another whenever it is based on astute Confucian principles and enables a free firing capitalist market system with intelligent and very strong controls. I am a published Australian writer, poems, non-fiction, and fiction. Fiction was book for young people Called Song of the Casskins published well by Scholastic Australia/Bloomsbury UK; Book of prose The Water Planet published by Satcen, Neutral Bay Sydney, Book of Non-fiction Reflections on Palliative Care...published Fitzwahoo 2000. I am slowly still writing 4 other books.
