Snowshoe, In 1423, the Emperor of China made a fateful decision. He decided to expend the royal treasury on the completion of the Grand Canal, greatly increasing internal trade in the Chinese Empire and not coincidentally relieving a famine that had hit the area surrounding the capital, in the north by assuring ample rice shipments via the canal. Were it not for bad weather, we'd most likely all be speaking Mandarin instead of English. -Ray

Hi Snowshoe, Are you creating trouble? Does Israel establish a legal precedent. Oops, hegemon talk. I had read a long time ago (25 years ago?) that 'They' had found a Chinese anchor and some chinaware off the coast of California, from before the time of the settlers and escapees from Europe. I do not know what happened to that archeological investigation. I understand from my Chinese relations that it is only by accident that fire and water was not invented by my supposed better ancestors. Chugs, Jay
