It&#8217;s not often anyone can call me an idealist, but what ever happened to the sanctity of The Vote?

		<description><![CDATA[Xi&#8217;an itself is an interesting city.  Much like several other European cities there&#8217;s a well-maintained city wall that surrounds it.  You can, apparently, take a walking tour atop it, and walk the perimeter of the inner-city &#8212; fourteen kilometers, taking over four hours &#8212; but, level as it is, I have no desires [...]]]></description>

Maybe because I knew more about it&#8217;s history than any of the Chinese tourists who stopped to take photos of their kids waving Chinese flags in front of The Great Chairman Mao.

I don&#8217;t know what happened to it, but I can&#8217;t remember what I&#8217;ve written&#8230; so until I do remember, I will not make an attempt at it&#8217;s recreation.

The origin of the term, &#8220;to be shanghaied,&#8221; came from the mid-nineteenth century when strong looking men were kidnapped from a bar or other place of such social gathering after either enbibing too much, or being slipped a mickey.  They would pass [...]]]></description>

In 2009 the Chinese government will be flooding it in order to bring the Three Gorges hydroelectric dam on-line.
