Excuse me. May I come in?

No apology necessary!

And as for the East, I mean the actual East. Eastern hemisphere. Not America

Agree. Those who were once the Resistance, are now the Establishment. An inversion of the status quo has been galloping since the turn of the century. Liberals have become 'libertarians', and conservative capitalists have become Progressive Leftists (capital P, not actual progressives).

 

I worked in Thailand on the Eastern Seaboard and later Ratchaburi near the Myanmar border. Then went to Northern China for a number of years. Visited most of the Asian countries. Loved it.

Many get progress mixed up with progressivism which is a nasty piece of ideology. https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/The-Progressive-Movement

 

Asia is interesting, to be sure. Westerners can learn a lot .. especially about personal resilience.

Meantime, yes. Capital P Progressivism is more conservative cult, than progress.

 

I do like Bacon and I definitely prefer Kris B Bacon over Lim Pe Bacon, who is always a real disappointment whenever we meet.

 

(Sniffs condesendingly and looks down nose), there will always be those who copy the original product.

 

Then again if you leave Kris P. Bacon in the pan too long....he crumbles into black charcoal fragments. Nobody wants those.

 

Only those who don’t know what they’re doing.
