Another earthquake in Sichuan, another hurricane in New Orleans

Bloomberg on the earthquake (38 dead so far), Bloomberg on New Orleans the "ghost town."

Damn.

Nicely done. Due note the time frame China is dealing with: tens of years, maybe more. Yes, the government is still authoritarian. But maybe -- just maybe -- it's possible to believe all the people here who say change is happening, only at its own pace. And, of course, on China's terms, not the world's.
