Question: I don't agree with what Pauline Hanson did, but doesn't it kind of challenge the senate's stance on the issue to have reacted the way they did? Imagine if they had shrugged what she did off. (www.msn.com)

Did you come over in winter? I am in Urumqi and its quite common to see open-faced helmet with a scarf/necktube/jacket pulled over the mouth/nose, I also saw it in Korea and Vietnam.
