You would think it was a big "DUH", yet we see problems like this in numerous countries throughout the world.

Some facts are obvious to others yet oblivious to others. It is a big "DUH" to even me but the Chinese government would disagree with me.

And saying "Uh, DUHHH you should separate church and state!" to Hu Jintao would result in prison-time...because sometimes it's the ones who are oblivious to things we recognize as obvious [redundant?] that have all the power...*sigh*

Problems and problems.

The interesting thing is that Galt posed this as a problem. While
the effects of unseperated religion + govt are clear, I would have
to ask why is this a problem for say China?
