What a hosed up country.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2008/01/30/_photo_from_why.php#comment-1280930 http://shanghaiist.com/2008/01/30/_photo_from_why.php#comment-1280930 Comments Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:00:00 +0700 <p>I remember a great report in the always lovely and non-political Beijing Review about exactly the same thing maybe 8 years ago. The kids were fiercly competing to win the votes of the others, by little gifts, threats and empty promises. In the end, the prettiest girl won. In a sweetly cunning way, the Beijing Review held this forth as an example of true democracy, and hoped for more schools to embrace this great example of class room democracy.</p>
