Don, perhaps you should try it and find out... just make sure you can claim it as a derivative work to avoid the original's copyright.

I'm a relative newcomer to the China vs. Tibet debate.  I've seen the Tibet romanticised in the film Kundun, picked on by China.  I've seen the same point made much more succinctly in The Simpsons.  But apart from a lefty gut feeling that supporting the underdog is probably a good idea, I don't think I'm informed enough to support either side.  I certainly haven't been paying attention to the news (except when my friends are in it).

Are we going to forget all this once the Olympic Games are over?  After they've begun?

And paragliding... yes, go for it, but be prepared: floating through the air is not exactly a fast-paced adventure sport.  One day I'd like to spend enough time training to be able to fly solo.
