Matrix, you bring up a very important point, and one that has been overlooked by most historians. It is the issue of "Old Mayo", and the role "Old Mayo" played in one of the most regressive times in Chinese history. From the time of Marco Polo China was known for it's fine silks, and subtle and captivating art. And then along came "Old Mayo". Tell me, tell me earnestly, what culture would not be adversely affected by "Old Mayo". It is a blight that cannot be ignored, or easily overcome. It is no wonder that only now is China finally recovering from the hangover caused by "Old Mayo" Lord, we thank you, that our brothers and sisters in the Orient no longer must wear the yoke of oppression brought on by "Old Mayo". And Lord please keep this affliction of "Old Mayo" away from your other children. Thank you Lord.
