Hmmm. Sometimes we can all blame the media for manipulating facts. What we see and hear, we should not always 100% believe. Things about Tibet perhaps some didnt know. Its a buddhist country and has a long history back to 600 BC where it was then ruled as its own kingdom. Shortly after it joined under a unified central government into China and became its province where China has lifted taxation and allowed its own management party plus funding it from Chinese central government. Offering protection with troops dispatched into its central government. With respects that Tibet is run on religion based (No war and army policy), offering protection is one of its ways to protect its people.

Every country has its dark side where decisions are made wrongly causing casualties. Even dating back to 1700,  where the infamous joint allied troops consisting of UK, USA, France, Japan..etc 8 countries invaded plundered and massacred right into the heart of China, thru Tibet and South china. In our new generation, we understand this to forgive and forget about past generations.

In terms of economy, I certainly have to weigh the benefits and downfalls under Chinese rule. Tibet has high lands and a high volume of poverty and low provided education since ages. When China assimilated Tibet as a province, Tibet benefited from Chinas central economy boom and equal support.

I now have to say, perhaps if one truely asks a Tibetian (provicial name like Beijinese, Xichuanese, Cantonese are part of the over 60 cultural ethnic groups in China), they are infact quite pleased to be as a family in China.

Now back to the revolts and unpleasantness in everywhere else in the world, if people sympathizes with some treatment that is made to Tibet. Its in fact the same situation, like a group of extremists who has an alternative plan stages revolts. Even in British rule, such actions would not be tolerated.

I have to say this are government to government movement and decisions, as it would be more civilized to act and negotiate than blindly following the media, making a fool of ourselves, or gain some personal attention.

The bottom line is, if we are all so good at politics perhaps we dont even need our own government, we can run it ourselves; This is of course wrong. I say let the experts at these field handle this. Do what you are best at and stop meddling in other peoples problems when we cant even handle our own.

Today I came across this site Writing Letters and I cant say how helpful this is. Apparently, i find it a common but understated task of writing letters. Especially recommendation letters. So do arm yourself with a template which you can fall back on when someone asks you for a recommendation letter.

Hello brain, welcome to the fascinating thoughts of the Jimmer. More to come as I go in the process of transferring all the dreaded postings to this new installation.
