Opium war as an anomaly or something very particular to a very particular time and place. I am saying i am guilty of thinking about the opium war that way. But great scholarship, truly great scholarship like killer high in a lot of the work thats done here at the Watson Institute forces me and us to see the world in a totally new way.

We believe that there is a major conflict of interest and we believe that the body has the obligation and the duty to address that conflict of interest and to grant our rehearing. I will introduce a coon the deal, and she is with the park merced and has a background in environmental policy law and we will be presenting here the case for the conflict of interest in this particular item, thank you. Good evening. Most of park merced inhabitants live there because it is a beautiful and peaceful and a
