So people and the government probably pay more attention to these issues. However, I still feel in Australia that the government doesn't always listen to the people about some important issues.

Joshua, I have always thought that Taiwan must have its own <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamata_disease" rel="nofollow">Minamata Bay Disaster</a>, it's just that nobody has ever documented it.

We noted a disturbing trend towards autism in some of the children she was teaching, an an overall - vague at first, but more obvious as time went on - "dumbness" to the locals. Towards the end, we began noticing our own personal lethargy, and began suspecting strongly that something was amiss in the otherwise clean-looking waters surrounding our archipelago home. We wonder if this latest crop of dead fish might not be yet another sign of something more sinister. Last year my wife and I lived in Penghu, and ate a lot of seafood.
