Just another Tibet link. This time James Miles of the Economist
in an interview with CNN on what he observed in Lhasa last week.What I saw was calculated targeted violence against an ethnic group, or I should say two ethnic groups, primarily ethnic Han Chinese living in Lhasa, but also members of the Muslim Hui minority in Lhasa. And the Huis in Lhasa control much of the meat industry in the city. Those two groups were singled out by ethnic Tibetans. They marked those businesses that they knew to be Tibetan owned with white traditional scarves. Those businesses were left intact. Almost every single other across a wide swathe of the city, not only in the old Tibetan quarter, but also beyond it in areas dominated by the ethnic Han Chinese. Almost every other business was either burned, looted, destroyed, smashed into, the property therein hauled out into the streets, piled up, burned. It was an extraordinary outpouring of ethnic violence of a most unpleasant nature to watch, which surprised some Tibetans watching it.

I wonder what happened around 1500 to make people drop swive and take up fuck as the preferred slang. Swive being a crudely poetic description of the action, fuck being a derivative of animal husbandry terminology.
It seems rather like the whole of society stopped talking about having sex, and started talking about making babies. Tough times, mind; I suppose people got the idea the only way to beat the incessant wars, famines, and plagues was to out-breed them.

Just as an aside, Jeremy, the french use "genial" to mean cool, really.

Oh, now this was kind of sweet.
In today's questions Winston Peters just attempted (in a degrees-of-seperation kind of way) to accuse Keith Locke of supporting China. Cullen responded by excusing people who might be over-enthusiastic about new regimes with specific reference to Zimbabwe.
