Micksbrain, in the post immediately above mine you mention Commies and Tianemen, than blather about me being on the wrong post when I respond to your blasting of a country you have never been in I would imagine. I merely responded, but of course if you are the only one allowed to stray off the topic of set lists, I guess I should read the rules over again. Then you need to really blast me by bringing in my profession and my REAL first name as if any of that had anything to do with what I am trying to say. I glean nothing from that except that you also seem to bear resentment against me as well as adding MDS ( who are nowhere akin to God except in the view of unrealistically expectant patients) to join your long list of commies, venture capitalists, bankers (but only the greedy ones like Mick), and on and on that you have denigrated in your multiple angry posts.
But to answer one of your questions, I graduated from Indiana University. As to why I am so "late" in responding, it is 5 PM here, and I just got back. Funny how time zones work for the rest of us scattered around the world , huh? I am not triple booked, and have told people on multiple threads I live far outside the "rat race" of main stream America. But you apparently misread or just plain did not read about my work with impoverished Pacific Islanders for the last 5 years. Of course, living in the Pacific Asian rim would not give me any insight as to what is happening out here, or how the people feel, or what they might have to say about America in general,I shoul re-read all the histories of the world that have apparently changed since I was a liberal arts major in my undergrad studies. Or wait...could it be in an America that I loved, I was allowed to read those histories and develop my own opinion? Is freedom of thought and freedom of speech now only extended to those who agree with your posts, and all others are ignorant, or self-serving, or idiots? I am not the one preaching and name calling, all I am doing is asking that people let events take a natural course. Now if you cannot see the parallel between communism crumbling behind the Berlin Wall/Iron Curtain and what might one day happen to communism behind the Great Wall, then I guess your thought processes might be a little too literal and concrete for others to get through to you. And if that is beyond your sight, I suppose that you will never see that the blood stains at Tianmen are no darker on the Ground than those at Kent State University, Ohio. I still fill freedom rings in the USA, so I can hope that it will for China also.
China is trying to change, is moving rapidly into capitolism and freedom. I havde never said the change was complete, only that it is happening. It is inevitable. A huge threat that could delay it is someone trying to force it, thus scaring the old gaurd into holding on harder. I suspect that if you reply, it will be to futher try and make me look bad as a human being by either implying I am a inhuman money-grubbing arrogant bastard, or by saying I lack in edcuation, intelligence and any positive human traits. Have at it...your anger, resentment, and lability make it nearly impossible to reason with you, so see the world your way, and rest comfortable, that all of us that disagree with you are not that upset you find us ignorant. I find it incredible that somewone trying to sound so brilliant falls to the xeno-phobic levels of "dog on a stick," as if the choice of beef as a meat product over dog, silkworm larva, horse, or any other protein source is a comment on intelligence or morals. As a last comment, the Stones CD was an official CD, I aksed to see what they were playing, it was not a pirate.
So with that, I take the course of passive resistance, and say "have it your way," you are right we are all wrong! There, now there is no need to debate and we can move on to the music of the Rolling Stones.
I sure would like to here them do Johnny B. Goode.
