...beyond the current crisis? Look how quickly sales of big trucks and SUVs rebounded once gas prices dropped. Smaller, greener vehicles were so much more attractive when our pocketbooks were under attack. Similarly, McMansions have gobbled up farmland--and now we're stuck with them for decades to come.

The WHA is a relatively low-risk international body for China to allow Taiwan to enter, as it is a health body, without strong political implications that could allow Taiwan to be treated as an independent nation. Taiwan has been invited to participate under the agreed upon name "Chinese Taipei" - the same name Taiwan uses for its Olympic team. To health officials in Taiwan, the invitation did not come a moment too soon. The swine flu is expected to be the focus...
