I can't say for sure that these books were/are mandatory in Oz schools...just that my English teacher took us on an excrusion to see the cartoon film version in the early 1970's. It stuck in my mind ever since. With the watering-down in OZ schools, I don't think kids are even taught to read and write any more...let alone be introduced to something that is intellectually stimulating. I imagine that the whole threat of communism was in the fore-front of the USA's political conscience (and for damned good reasons), and what better way to educate young'ns about a system that sounds great but runs like a busted ar$e in practice. If only its designers had taken human nature into account, they'd have realised what works for ants and bees is NBG for us. ...and I'll repeat...what's the bet they don't even fix the kids teeth? Much love and hugs, The Stoat XXX |

Not by much. If the Chinese wanted their ceremonies to be impressive yet scary, they succeeded brilliantly!

Cool. With this picture, if you scroll up and down a couple of inches real fast, it makes for a neat optical illusion

On the subject of the girl singer, a coworker just gave me this link. It is from what appears to be a heavily (Chinese) government controlled web news site (People's Daily Online). The article was posted today and does not even discuss the fact that the singer on camera was not the actual person doing the singing.

The second one doesn't have the same optical illusion fun that the first one does.
