Just take a look at the www.ddp.org.tw website for example. It looks like it was designed by 3rd graders. On the English site, there is nothing except a goofy flash lotus pond animation. <BR/><BR/>In addition, if you send an email to their contact link, it will more than likely get kicked backed with error messages such as "mailbox full...unable to deliver, etc.".<BR/><BR/>It's amazing that in this day and age, they don't capitalize on the resources and talent they have here in Taiwan to help them further their cause to the outside world.<BR/><BR/>At the very least, the DPP should privately sponsor your TaiwanMatters website. <BR/><BR/>Your thoughts (especially here on VFT) and those of the other writers on TaiwanMatters are invaluable to explaining the real political, economical, educational and social situation in Taiwan, but I bet they do not even know these sites exists. It is such a great tool for them, but they are clueless. <BR/><BR/>Its too bad the wannabe progressives here always seem to fall back into the typical Taiwanese defense mechanism: which is never try out or even discuss new ideas, else you will be the one take on the responsibility. <BR/><BR/>A second thought is always do the least amount of work possible to avoid taking on added responsibilities. (including never answer emails, especially from foreigners). The key factor is avoid responsibility at all costs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
