We are celebrating my brother-in-law's birthday at some restaurant in town. Limo pickup and drop off is part of the equation.

While on way here was side tracked a block by some demonstration, and then waylaid by a counter demonstration.

The issue is that one group is against an equal across-the-board government largess of usd 750 per current or past tax payer (everyone with mandatory retirement a/c) due to budgetary prudence. The money is a small part from last year's government surplus.

The other group is for the largess, but against even distribution, wishing to cut out non-locals, including all Americans and mainland Chinese residing in hong kong.

Hong kong popular will at work, on what amounts to our political activism ;0)

The hong kong government was supposed to run a deficit in 2009 given the supposed state of the global economy and screwed up by running a surplus anyway.

Our government is uniquely incapable of running a deficit even when it tries to do so google.com
