To the surprise of his guide, Brabeck insisted on turning back. Even though he says his life wasn't in danger, "the risk was too high for the responsibility I have...
...these comparisons hint at a more fundamental divergence. Yale students want you to know that they enjoy Beethoven. Harvard students want you to know that they enjoy Snow Patrol.

Starbucks, iPods, Playstations, blogs,IM, high-end snow gear: the anesthetizing of China's Me Generation sounds just like what's happening right here in the U.S. It seems that as long as we have our morning cup of coffee, iTunes and the latest high-tech cell phone, then all is well. These are the values we ourselves embrace and teach our children. Who cares about politics and civil rights as long as you have the best stuff...
