In response to dear theZebra's concern:

"re:Petition--I recieved the petition from family friends in HK. I know about the switch years ago. All I know is this: don't be so sure that the U.N. can't do it. Forgive my saying so, but 'white'/those in higher positions(such as UN) have a lot more power than we do. All it takes is their official declaration. Today's generations don't appreciate history all that much and eventually those holding on to the older language will become fewer.

I don't think it does any harm to sign the petition. At least they'll know what we think about it."
--second half of my comment to her

That's what I say about it. Just thought I'd throw that out there. ;) So ya'll can continue to sign the petition if you wish. And don't if you don't. ^-^

Online petition - Say NO to United Nations' abolishment of Traditional Chinese in 2008

I guess that's a good reason for not making the switch. Today's generation needs to appreciate history more. Discarding it won't help the matters any.
