i met the dally llama from tibet. it was the first year women were granted the right to vote. i met women in afghanistan who could not leave their houses alone, who had their fingernails pulled off if they wore fingernail polish. their lives are changing. i wanted to give voice to the remarkable people and share these experiences with others, and i wanted to remember the many wonderful people i met here at home, the volunteers from the red cross and the men who drove all night to the storm ravaged gulf coast after katrina to cook meals for those in need and stayed for months helping the people there rebuild, or the coast guard volunteers who rescued some 30,000 people stranded after the hurricane struck. i wanted to tell the days the spent with the young men in our cities and towns, many of whom were exgang members trying to turn their lives around. i was never prouder as when part of my own helping america's youth initiative, i was able to welcome a group of exgang members from l.a. to the white house, the same house where we hosted the queen of england and the pope on his bi

so there was a lot there -- this is a very long introduction before i tibet to this book -- get to this book, but i think it's worth it. gets to the fact that because of being here at village books and being on c-span's become tv with that book, the butterfly book, i was invited to come on to the daily show with jon stewart which is a great fun experience for those of you familiar with the daily show. it was, it was not just fun intrinsically, but it's amazing the penetration of that show, how many people from different aspects of my life saw that and said, that was fun. and one of the things that happened on the kalely show was -- daily show was that jon stewart asked me, who have these people? -- who are these people? who are the people that are buying butterflies that are illegal and that they could go to prison for for owning and that they have to engage in this nefarious activity to have? and i thought of that as i was coming up with what was going to be my next book. here i was in a new genre because of being here, this natural history world, and i thought of smuggling beyond butt

it set of those of us who believe in god that somehow we are shallow or more superficial or live in tibet depth and do not have the press but toss that others would have who live their lives in s of predict a completely secular life style. let it be said that i believe that it takes a great deal more to believe that issues are not what they appear to be on the surface but go to the heart, bone, and soul of every human being. if anyone wants to debate an issue, i much more comfortable debating it from the standpoint of eternal values that cannot be changed, that from the steppe -- then from the standpoint of temporal values that can always be changed, not always for the better. i suggest that we never apologized from approaching life from the standpoint that there is a god and he has created rules, and when we play by those rules, we have a better chance of winning the game. when we disregard those rules and we ignore those rules, there is a good indication that we not only will lose the game, we will not even know what the game is. i believe it is extraordinarily superficial for people wh

by the way, i agree that tibet is something that looks like that passed e '70s.le did not expect as much from government. they have seen things they never solved in the '70s. in the '70s, people talked about the golden age of development. we have for less development projects and then then we have now. as we deal with how things evolve, we will have to do with the reality of an enormously fractured society and be very careful that we are not standing up jurist without standing project -- without knowing who we are standing up. it is not a difference over the objective, it is a reminder of how complicated it is to work on. thank you. >> i will just add one thing, we are helping to strengthen the capacity of the ministries at the national level, some of them have a very fine leaders that the upper levels. they are not the level of maturity might expect. they can provide an increased measure of effectiveness. those we are talking about where the local leaders come together to address the needs of their people is part of the country -- is very important. our command

in 1962 throughout history never had much to do with each other because, now you have air bases in tibet where the operations of chinese fighter jets includes any. and get indian warships in the south china sea. secondly, china is starting to make a lot of enemies in places like africa. you know, because of the way it does things, the way, you know, china has this idea you build these big mining operations and hydrocarbon extraction facility can you build roads and boats to them, what hasn't quite figured out is when you do all that you become invested in that countries politics. you just our, become vulnerable to those countries politics, and you become, just like america became, just like big burger king style military bases and the united states and japan and germany and turkey, became kind of focal point of local media is in all those countries in negative ways. the same is starting to happen for a lot of chinese facilities in africa and in other places, and a little less in west central asia and burma. india less though because india is not at this care with china. in terms of power

anything from negative economic statistics to information on environmental calamities or references to tibet, taiwan, uighurs or anything else that would anger the dragon. the chinese regime obviously understands it controls -- its control of technology is a way to control the future. yes, the future. beijing's focus on space as well as electronics communications says it all. remember, space-based assets, satellite systems, are an essential component of global and national communication with enormous implications to our own national security as well as our own prosperity. the power of the commerce and the -- the power of commerce and political change will be determined by the control of these systems and the freedom to use these systems will have an impact on the future of the country and the world. what happens in space will determine what happens on the ground. with that in mind, the obama administration's decision to go along with our domestic high-tech corporate giants and again permit american satellites to be launched from chinese rockets is a cataclysmic betrayal of america's security

the things i think a lot about is this question of say a buddhist like to see from ancient india or tibet where name-calling and intellectual content actually went hand-in- hand. the more intelligently to consult your enemy, the more intellectual content you were proven to have. this is an interesting point of debate. i am fine with name-calling as long as it continues the democratic association of ideas, the democratic mix of ideas, a democratic context. when that name-calling stops the exchange, then we have a problem. this is not a foregone conclusion that they go hand-in- hand. the two are actually aiding and abetting each other. the way i see it in terms of history, i think a lot of what has happened today has its roots in the 90's in terms of multi- cultural interest groups. i think that charles taylor did a beautiful job in talking about why groups need public recognition. what happened is that as a result, we expanded the public sphere and a very powerful way but we contracted the idea of a common good. we have an expanded public spirit and a contracted common good. that is where

war in 1962 throughout history didn't have much to do with each other, but now you have air bases in tibethere fighter jets include india and indian warships in the south china sea. there's first that. secondly, china is making enemies in places like africa because, you know, of the way it does things, the way -- you know, china has this idea that you build big mining operations, and hydrocarbon extraction facilities and build railroads and roads to there, but they haven't figured out when you do that, you become invested in that country's politics. you just are. you become full necial to those -- vulnerable to the politics, and you become just like americans became -- just like big burger king, big war style military basis of the united states in japan and germany and turkey became focal points of local medias in those countries in a negative way. the same is happening to a lot of chinese facilities in africa and other plays, and you can include a little bit of central asia. the burmese regime is terrified of becoming a satellite of china, but doesn't know what to do about it. india becau

then you dazing tibet -- they seemed to bounce back. when you talk about crime or worse, you see different story. you see a drop that is much sharper, and a recovery that is noticeably slower. this holds once again for the prime borrowers. the other things that we want to use this analysis to do is we have the experience of foreclosures. what can this tells about what people who are now going through foreclosure are going to experience? does the experience to enter the foreclosure in 2007, two dozen 9, how does that line up with what we have seen historically? we are looking at the new cohorts, and for reference, i will put this blue line up here, the average of the seven that we have shown on the previous page. you see once again the reasons cohorts follow a pattern similar to what we have seen historically. higher credit scores, same type of decline, and for the subprime are worse, they seem to be tracking pretty close. the prime borers, it is different. higher credit scores, everything tanks, and now the prime borers are recovering m
