energyplay, <<do you expect the activity around the anti -subversion law to affect business in HK to any degree ?>> No, I do not believe business will be affected. I am against big government and unnecessary laws in principle, as a matter of course. I believe vast majority of folks demonstrating on July 1st never read the draft law, got the wrong picture from word-of-mouth, and that many, if not most, demonstrated because they are dissatisfied with the current HK leadership, without realizing that putting in a crowd that Beijing does not favored will hurt HK much more, in the pocket books yet. Democracy, ala rule of the majority mob, is not healthy for pocket books, at times, but other ruling methods have major problems as well. I have no answers, except that government should be small, and should be easily recallable, either by vote, or by bloodless street demonstrations. Chugs, Jay
