If you're going to keep ranting like this could you at least educate yourself on the difference between "principal" and "principle"?

FIFY (Fixed it for you)

Donald Tsang and his crew are a bunch of highly paid lawyers sitting in ivory towers masquarading as the "voices of HK conscience"

Lee Cheuk-yan is a great guy who has never been part of any administration. In my view he should made chief executive, but of course that would never be allowed by Beijing.

Rubbish! Lee Cheuk Yan is just a two faced hypocritice. He certainly protected worker and women rights over the Kam Lai Wai saga didn't he??

ok, so sarcasm is your own retort? Perhaps you could tell me why Anson Chan should be the "voice of conscience"

F.A.O. HKITperson:

Had they achieved the goal of universal suffrage under British Governors, would we still have that today under Chinese rule?

Yes or no?

back to the original topic, Tom Holland has some interesting (though far less sexy) options that the govt. could look at for spending $66 billion dollars, in todays SCMP...check out the Monitor on The Back Page

That was good. Build a nuclear plant to provide all of HK's electricity, with enough spare change for an electric trolleybus system, making HK one of the greenest cities in the world. Alternatively found four new world-class universities.

They both sound like much better uses of the money.

T Build a nuclear plant to provide all of HK's electricity, .

While I am far from anti-nuclear (indeed I think it is probably the future of electricity generation) ... do you have ANY IDEA of the disruption to local residents THAT would involve? I can guarantee more than 150 villagers would need to be relocated.

Or does this fall into the "well I think it's a good idea so for my good ideas we can disrupt as many as we like".

[timklip]

the disruption may be true depending where they put it, and I would fear that far more greenies would protest a nuke plant...but it would definitely be a more useful end product (if it was ever actually done...) with a more easily quantifiable benefit

Wasn't one of the reasons behind the french built nuclear plant just across the border at Daya Bay that it would also supply HK?
