Hmm, interesting. Perhaps it is rooted in the European concept of a nation state, where political legitimacy derives from cultural identity?
Btw, don't Native Americans identify themselves by their ethnic heritage as well? Not to mention South Asia (Hindu, Punjabi) and the Middle East (Arab, Persian, Jew, etc.). From what little I know of African cultures, many seem to also use distinct ethnic identities (Tutsi, Hutu, Zulu, etc.).
Thanks for the insightful posts. I'm just curious as to the "older faction" within the government you pointed out, any idea as to their age, or how long they are likely to remain in power? Do you think there will be a succession of their ideologies or will they be buried together?
Sorry if the question sounds kinda narrow, but it seems like a bottleneck to a lot of problems. In my limited knowledge of Chinese politics from surfing, it seems that the faction of engineers among the newer generation of Chinese politicians happen to be quite enlightened, though they have to compete with the children of the previous communist leaders who came to power through nepotism.
It just reminds me of the whole thing Europe had to go through not so long ago.
Wow, this is great. I have few questions, is the per-item url now part of Cappuccino or something custom for this app? With this in place would it be difficult to add back button support?
I think the problem is they attract various types of insects indiscriminately, which can be disastrous for the ecosystem. IIRC, the laser's tracking mechanism only detects the mosquitoes' wing frequency range.
