(P1) Political
Here are a few photos from Joyce's and my recent trip to China (Aug. 31-Sept. 13, 2012) which blew away so many preconceptions that I hardly can know where to begin, so I won't except to attempt to explain the affluence, cleanliness, and friendliness alongside the rigid, though almost invisible control, by mentioning Deng Xiao Ping's goals to move China (1) From Planning to Market economy and (2) From Dictatorship to Democracy, BUT to accomplish the latter very slowly in order to obviate the chaos which occurred in Russia's attempt. So now scroll down for the photos and what follows.

Triolet On A Line From The Grateful Dead
Paint by number morning, sky looks
so phony.
Toss away the mold, fracture and
destroy it.
All that’s derivative, merest
baloney.
Paint by number morning, sky looks
so phony.
Who follows instruction ends up the
lonely
On oft-traveled paths dotted with
bullshit.
Paint by number morning, sky looks
so phony.
Toss away the mold, fracture and
destroy it.
