Oh, okay. I misunderstood you. Do you like Kipling's poetry?

I must admit, I'm not that avid a reader of poetry, but the occasional good one grasps my interest.

Yes about Kipling. I've always found Frost to be rather "squishy." He has my respect even though I prefer others. I feel the same way about Hemingway.

Much of the above is because I "specialized" in American Lit. in college.

"How is this a China issue? Why are you linking every Indian piece to China?

"Rivals China's Great Wall"... uh, that wasn't the point of the piece, that was your own personal stupid opinion. "


Huh? WTF? That was the headline in the original article.

If an article is about the popularity of Kentucky Fried Chicken in China, it doesn't need a tag relating it to the state of Kentucky...

It's that obvious.

Whether it needs or not is upto the guy who writes the article or fries the Chicken.

LOL, you are just being too paranoid. I think the Chinese reference is there because of the wall's underlying similarities to China's Great Wall, which was built to keep the Mongolian barbarians from entering Mother China. The Indian wall is being built to keep the Islamic barbarians from entering Mother India.
