CAKE OR DEATH?? death... no, CAKE!
ok, so i watched eddie izzard last night. and finally learned the meaning of "cake or death!" as well as "thank you for flying church of england". also... i learned what an executive transvestite was. and he said that the american dream was to rise up from the gutters, make a ton of money, then stick it in your ears and go "BPPPPT" with it. sticking it in your ears. but that the eu has no european dream. he thinks it should involve a moped. yup. the european dream is... a moped. somehow, that works for me.
did gender analysis tonight in chinese history, and it was really really interesting. prof made an excellent point, which is right now, china's going to have a huge problem when they've got something like 50 million bachelors with no hope of getting married, and no hope of achieving what's defined as success in China... a wife and a son. which would leave china with a lot of angry young men with no hope. and if there's one thing i firmly believe, it's that angry young men with no hope is a recipe for disaster. if China's economy starts to go down, if they don't have enough jobs.... there's ogoing to be angry young unemployed men with no hope. and then they really will have a recipe for revolution. or terrorism.
yup.
