mmmm... but if you look at the link someone posted a way back (http://www.tibetancc.org/), that
Tibetan CC is actually a Chamber-of-Commerce In Exile, fronted by a big endorsement from HH the
Dalai Lama: "In future I hope [the TCC] can play vital role not only in Exile but also inside
Tibet".  Can't find any sign of that AtD seal on the site though.

So the TCC is like the Webb brothers starting up local branches of the Colorado miners' union in
Mexico, Gottingen etc, after fleeing the Vibe tyranny.  More a grassroots exiles' organisation
than an official body.  Read Anarchist Self-Organisation.

Is this a deliberate even-more-subtle and twisted joke on TRP's part?  Sometimes I wonder how
deliberate TRP is - he clearly is extremely thorough, but sometimes it seems TRP just has to start
a joke rolling and the weird Pynchonesque world we live in does the rest of the work for him.
