Compact connected spaces have non- cut points

Question

Let $X$ be a compact connected Hausdorff space with more than one point. Prove that there is point $x \in X$ s.t. $X \setminus \{x\}$ is connected.

This is an interesting question, but the way it's phrased makes it seem like a homework problem. — Cheerful Parsnip, Aug 23 '11 at 12:18

I was typing up an answer, but I must go. So I will refer you to the answer. In this paper, at the bottom of page 380, there is a proof that there are at least 2 non-cut points.

You had a nice proof which was unfortunately too long for your time margin to contain....... – Andrea Mori Aug 23 '11 at 13:44
