| 恖岥斅夠 s.u. Explanation: 斅块堏动 is an expression used in Taiwan, quite new. It is a simile to seismic movements. Continental plates or massive rocks/blocks glide in the direction and with the speed according to the pressure they are bearing. Viewing a population group as a demographical block, you can imagine the seismic movements of the population. There are a lot of reasons why demographic blocks move and it has surely socio-political and economical complications, such as demands for food, clothes, water supply, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2004-06-22 13:03:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, wrong coding.
