Before I run out to view fireworks I just wanna say ROCK & ROLL everybody!
I think I'm gonna write some new patriotic songs for the Bush re-election campaign!

Great, It's nice to know about every country,,my comment was mainly sarcasm based the obsession with info on America that seems to reside in the minds of outsiders. Once again, everything starts at the community level..

We Americans are so arrogant, that most believe all of you study American History in school,,,I assume you learn as much about your country and it's heritage in your schools as we do about our country.....1523, I had no idea, that's a long time for any country to have a stable foundation. I am always interested in the Eastern Indian culture,, it seems so rich and diverse. Here in the US, we tend to think of other countries being made up of the haves and the have nots.
We have a large middle class--does your country have a middle class...I do know of the richness of music and art that India has gien to the world,,,,plus, you sure can spit out a lot of movies,,,lol...I also have much interest in Hong Kong, it is such an old city...I am quite concerned for the future of its citizens though as i find it hard to believe that Red China is going to let it continue to exist as it is now....how did most of you feel when you became under the control of Communist China?

no society is totally or truely communist or democratic--and I understand HK has been pretty much left to it's capatalistic ways, but I would still be aware that that can now change overnight and China has not always 'let things slide' for economic reasons. China's doesn't score well in the 'human rights' area....I'd say, just don't get complacent...
