If you go through the presentation from beginning to end, you experience a message regarding who the leaders are and why that is so powerful and well-orchestrated that it makes questioning it seem silly. Hey, are you in the States now? I thought the Tianjin Museum really gave a good feel for the way the Mandate of Heaven is experienced today (I imagine, anyway).

I certainly agree that old ideas die slowly (if ever). Very interesting link between the current move toward “bigger and better” and the old Mandate of Heaven.

The U.S. would never make a video like that...and we would be considered "class racists" if we ever referred to people as outsiders the way we are called here. I've got to hand it to the people who made the video though...it was very cool.
