Hey friends, I'm writing you from Tianshang, atop Taroko Gorge near Taiwan's east coast, where I've been bunkered down for a couple days at the Catholic Hostel, chilling out and digging the dizzying mountain views. I wrapped up this leg of my Taiwan tour on Saturday...

read my words from the road

Where's that hobo at? (updated Jan 29 2012) Scott sez: 天祥, ahh. Wonderful show in Hualien last night, thanks friends. This leg of tour's wrapped up, and this rambler is taking a month off.

WELL WORTH READING:


Martin Luther King on Vietnam, as relevant today as it was back in '67.

WELL WORTH WATCHING:


The War on Democracy
by John Pilger

Why We Fight
by Eugene Jarecki


  "Recent polls have shown growing public dissatisfaction with the president's handling of the war in Iraq in the face of a persistent insurgency and the mounting U.S. death toll."-AP, my emphasis added
They forgot to mention the price at the pump, which seems to be people's #1 concern... Civilians in iraq evidently don't matter to US military planners, or to the mass media... what will it take for their lives to matter to the US public?
