this was almost exclusively US centric, what about yasser arafat's death? benazir bhutto's assassination? china hosting the olympics? Seems like the states for more than 75% of the airtime in this one.

What makes this kind of ironic is the students protestig on that day were actually there advocating for more traditional communism and more control, not the democracy that we speak of.

There is no doubt in my mind that china will progress to democracy someday, but in evolutionary steps rather than revolutionary. Instability cause by a sudden shift would ripple around the economic world. Also, the chinese culture has been ruled by a dictatorship for the past 2000 years, and during the period before the 19th century china was the leading technological civilization on earth.

So here's to hoping they'll bring back some of that tech prowess they used to be so good at.

In actuality, it is much better to brush your teeth before you eat breakfast than after. As it so happens, the amount of bacteria in your mouth when you wake up is far greater than at any other time during the day. Additionally, brushing your teeth after a meal may erode away the enamel covering your teeth.

This is due to the increased acidity of your mouth after eating, which coupled with teeth brushing can lead to damage. Saliva production increases during a meal, therefore you should wait at least an hour after eating before brushing your teeth.
