I was reading ex-President Lee Teng Hui's op-ed in the Taipei Times the other day. Even he, the man who loves democracy, characterized Taiwan's legislature as "legislative chaos." Well, didn't Pres. Lee know that legislative chaos is usually what developing countries end up with after adopting democracy? How could he praise democracy all day long before but, once Taiwan adopts democracy and its attendant legislative chaos, bemoan that same democracy all day long? If he doesn't like legislative chaos, maybe he should never have made Taiwan democratic in the first place with all those bothersome opposition parties that he now finds so annoying!

Taiwan's future is in serious doubt when even the wisest of Taiwan's pro-independence thinkers like ex-Pres Lee cannot come up with any real solution to Taiwan's continued capital flight and hollowing out of its economy. This is the problem with most pro-independence thinkers. Instead of adapting to new economic realities, you're inflexible. In the meantime, billions of dollars continue to flow out of Taiwan. Should Taiwan actually reject direct links, it will be send such a negative message to the investment community worldwide that you'll see Taiwanese and foreign investors giving up on Taiwan altogether and once and for all and pouring even more money into the mainland.

Hey Mr Wang. You are as old and senile as your namesake.

Your weird insecurities are strange Why are all you ChiComs so insecure and scared?

You Chinese Communists are scared of freedom and liberty and ultimately scared of humanity itself.

Why do you go around propagandizing for the Chinese communists ? Do they pay you? Is it some sort of twisted loyalty to the party?

How much preplanning goes in. At least three or four of you signed up here on the day of this summit to spew forth your propaganda. Is this cordinated at all?

Is under the auspices of Xinhua or another group you work?

You really are missing out. You'll never understand what is is to be free and live free -- and know what that means to ally with and support fellow free people.

You know what I'm talking about.
