"Ching Chong" and the Opium Wars
By Tim Baxter

To summarize Randolph Herr's scholarly submission of 10/31:

How DARE the Chinese government object to having its people turned into
addicts!!

Not a proud moment in Western Civilization, to be sure.

It reminds one of what Gandhi replied when asked what he thought about
Western Civilization:  "I think it would be great idea!"
