Ramsey,
In spite of your condescension, ("while I enjoy a good political discussion or debate, my investments are my livelihood that demands priority. This forum is important because of the major role that Asia is playing. However, it does have a tendency to drift off to issues that are too broad, or simply mental masturbation by the crowd in the academia") I found your post easy to agree with and thought your metaphor of an Asian house invested with termites an especially apt one. I agree that, given it is an apt metaphor, the priorities would be to attend to the typhoons before attending to the termite infestation. So...how? Typhoons are acts of nature...hedge funds are acts of free markets. What can be done to curb the potential damage? I guess we can set up windbreaks (monetary controls) but in the end the infestation will have to dealt with. Yes?

You know Ramsey, you are a bright guy with good observations. You simply don't need to resort to cheap tricks like condescencion, loose-cannon statements, and denigration of those you disagree with. The very notion that your investments are somehow greater in importance then anyone else's suggest a delusional state of egotistical indulgence, perhaps underpinned by a spiritually challenged sense of self. Why don't you come down from your high horse and join the human race?
