i don't know about atlanta. but houston has an underground city of high end restaurants and shops and whatnot. it was really nice until a flood fucked it up. they're rebuilding it though.

it was an attempt to acknowledge the rise of the economic power of china

I remember TVC saying that the Lamas are just CIA-paid pawns that try to stir up problems for China.

Tibet was never even a democratic society. It had a caste system much like feudal Europe.

Americans should try to learn more about history and culture from sources other than Hollywood movies.

I kinda agree the argument that shunning the Olympics would only worsen our relationship with China and make them less likely to cut out the bullshit...but there's got to be a ceiling to this.

I was being hyperbolic at the time--I really doubt the CIA has any expectations of him to do anything but be himself, a gadfly to China. But I mean, he has to be/have been on their payroll for <em>something</em>.

See this is why we need China as an enemy in movies and stuff.

I don't doubt the CIA is helping the Lamas out in some fashion, but to say they don't have their own independent goals is just ridiculous.

The Dalia Lama as part of the globalist movement? I think that has been stretched a bit, by people with an interest in seeing Buddism fail. I think the Dalia Lama is selling out, but with the goal of communication, for a complete understanding of geo-political matters. He is all about learning, and so talking with Hitler or other Nazis would serve that purpose [the blog has links showing the Dalia Lama has CIA Nazi and Bush family fortune connections].

Some days I love 7 Years in Tibet and other days I absolutely hate it.

Sometimes it's just way too much cheese and emo-Brad Pitt for me.

i should write "7 years in oklahoma"

sadly, i am not pretty like brad pitt and i learned nothing about myself save that i can drink the better part of a jug -- yes, a ceramic jug -- of homemade corn whiskey and NOT DIE

what better way to tell a historical story than insert the protagonist into various historical situations?

Andrew (Drinky, played by a Keanu Reeves) takes a tour of the White House only to meet the most beautiful woman of his dreams. He gets so lost in her sparkling eyes they both wind up separated from the rest of the tourists, and in the Oval Office. Andrew and Silvia (played by Karen Page) embrace near a window, but the lovably dim witted Andrew asks to leave the room after hearing ghosts moaning from somewhere under the desk
