Below is text from an excellent letter printed in yesterday's newspaper. The writer has it right on.
The GOP and right wing nuts are using the same tactics that they have found successful in the past. Fear ....
In 2000: "Be afraid," the gays are going to take over the schools and teach your children.
In 2004: "Be afraid," al-Qaida is coming to kill you; they hate us for our freedom.
In 2010: "Be afraid," this administration is "the enemy" and we will lose all our freedoms; we will lose America.
The party of amnesia (having forgotten the last eight years of incompetence) that we endured during the Bush/Cheney reign is the party we vot-
ed out. Yes, we voted for change from Bush policies.
When you- lose elections, things are going to change, and not in the direction that you may have wished but neither party should drag itself into
the "anti-American" gutter that the far right seems to be content in these days.
They will do anything to assure that this president fails.
This election cycle, the right has recklessly gone way beyond partisan politics. Spewing fear that paints the U.S. president and his administration as our enemy, and worse in some cases, is reprehensible.

1. three schools of thought influenced the development of Buddhism: the Vedic religion, the Saramanic movement, and Jainism.
2. The Vedas were the sacred books of the Aryans.
3. The Vedic society developed into a caste system.
4. The early Aryans believed in sort of heaven, but the Sramanic philosophers rejected this idea in favor of the concept of reincarnation
5. Karma is based on the simple premise that all actions have reaction. If one's actions are not felt in this life, they will be felt in the next life or a succeeding one.
6. The Jain's founder, Mahavira, developed a program that centered on ahimsa (nonviolence towardtoward other living beings) to help others attain enlightenment, too.

The Republican strategy of delay and obstruct is hurting America and our standing in the world. It has to stop.
Important offices at the State Department and other federal agencies are standing vacant because too many Republicans are placing partisanship over country and refusing even to consider President Obama's nominees.
This is seriously undermining the President's ability to restore America's leadership in the world and our efforts to build a secure future based on the defense of our interests, the rule of law, and respect for human rights.

Mary Travers died today. She was the female voice of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
My first record album , back in 1963, was "Peter, Paul, and Mary In Concert". What a great album! The epitome of folk music.
Although Ms. Travers did not compose “If I had a Hammer” or “Blowing in the Wind”, her renditions made these songs classics. Almost 50 years later, these songs have the same impact. I still remember and think of these lyrics.
When I hear these songs, I think fondly of Mary Travers.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Every day, I thank God that I am a Liberal. Liberals advocate change, because change, like evolution, is good for all of us. Jesus was a Liberal because he advocated a new and bold way of thinking.
People who wish to go back to the “good old days” forget that that the good old days weren’t all that good. In fact, the best of times is today and now. We have President Obama, who will be remembered as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
I am thankful that the present political administration has taken steps to repair the eight years of damage done to our country by the Bush Administration.
Once again our women and children have the right to make life-saving choices without being restricted by some bible-waving fanatics.
At last, we have an administration that recognizes the religions of others, particularly Islam. Too long, our previous administrations have ignored the people and cultures in the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
We do have serious problems with the economy, but that is not the fault of the Democrats or Republicans. Lower taxes and less government will not solve the problem. You get what you pay for. If you want good government, then you need to pay for it. Government restrictions and controls of business are necessary to protect the public.

Not to know is bad.
Not to want to know is worse.
Not to hope is unthinkable.
Not to care is unforgiveable.

The total number of Chinese characters is estimated at over fifty thousand, of which only five to eight thousand are frequently used. Three thousand are normally adequate for everyday situations.
A considerable number of Chinese characters are composed of numerous strokes and complicated to write. Modern scholars have made numerous attempts to simplify the writing system. “Simplified characters” are those which have been altered. “Traditional characters” are those that retain their earlier forms. Simplified characters are easier to learn, memorize, read and write.
The use of simplified characters is now the official policy in the People’s Republic of China. Traidtional characters are restricted mainly to academic use or aesthetic purposes.

Dear Republicans: I have been waiting to say this for eight long years. Get over it! Your candidate lost by a large and unchallenged margin. Stop whining and crawl back into your caves. Or, better yet, keep up with the infighting! Keep attacking McCain's daughter about her "weight problem" instead of her concern for the Republican Party!
Bush was no fiscal conservative. Just look at how much the war in Iraq has cost us already - enough to give all low-income people health care, food, housing and more. This is not .including the precious lives of soldiers, our country's image around the world and the stupidity of thinking a penny ante dictator such as Saddam Hussein ranked among Hitler and Stalin. We have already wasted nearly $10 billion in Iraq just from corrupted "officials" and "equipment suppliers" who rip off the US. government without any ·punishment.
Did you really want a vice president who preached abstinence as the only birth control to her 17-year-old daughter who became pregnant and dropped out of high school? And is now yet another single mother?
Please dig up more Democratic opinion columns and leave the right-wing raving to the talk radio. Finding bad things to say about Obama seems to be too tough a job for Republicans. Mostly, they are just being sore losers.

I also must remember that, at the beginning of a syllable, “I” is written as “y” (e.g.
iě is pronounced yě). “I” is written as “yi” when it forms a syllable all by
itself. (e.g. ī is pronounced yī)
At the beginning of a syllable, “u” is written as “w” (e.g.
uǒ is pronounced wǒ). “u” is written as “wo” when it forms a syllable all by
itself (e.g. ǔ is pronounced wǔ).
When “ü” is at the beginning of a syllable or forms a
syllable by itself, a “y” is added to it and the two dots over it are omitted
(e.g. ü3 is pronounced yǔ).

I must
remember that, a third tone, when immediately followed by another third tone, should be pronounced in the second tone, but with the tone mark “3” remaining
unchanged. For example,
“Nǐ hǎo” is
pronounced “Ní hǎo”
“Wǒ hěn hǎo”
is pronounced “hén hǎo”.
“hěn hǎo” is
pronounced “hén hǎo”
“Yě hěn hǎo”
is pronounced “yě hén hǎo”

Every morning, the first
thing that comes to the antelope's mind is, “I must be able to run
faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed by a lion.”
And the first thing flashing
into the lion's mind is, “I must be able to catch up with the
slowest antelope. Otherwise, I will starve to death.”
So, at the same moment, both
jump to their feet, and start running toward the rising sun.

Today I took my first two exams since I started my courses over again in September.
I am happy with myself, although my teachers may disagree with my progress.
I certainly did better than I did last year.
This year I am surprised that I could read the questions, which were written in Hanzi. It took a while, but as I reviewed all the questions, i realized that I could recognize most of the words.
I was not unhappy with my oral test either. I was able to remember several Chinese words and sentences.
Still, I have a long way to go. I have learned more hanzi characters, but i often forget the correct tones. My pronunciation still needs a lot of work. I find that even though I can recognize hanzi characters, it is not the same the other way around. I find that I have an extremely hard time remembering the hanzi equivalent of a pinyin word. As my friends tell me, i must practice, practice, practice.

I'm in the middle of my first week of classes. My impression is that I missed an awful lot last year by coming in four weeks late. Possibly improvements have also been made to the curriculum. I notice more English signs in the hallways, and Chinese-in-China has prepared a welcoming packet for each new and returning student
The instructors still teach in Chinese and write in Hanzi, the simplified Chinese characters. However, because we're in a very beginning class, they make sure we know what each word and character means.
Of course, during the first weeks, the concentration is mostly on pronunciation. However, the instructors go into much more detail than what we experienced last year (because we were late).
There also is an emphasis on learning hanzi. We are encouraged to memorize the Hanzi, not the Pinyin (the Romanized versions of the Chinese characters). We are being taught the strokes and how to write the characters. This is exactly what I want, and what I missed last year.
Some of our textbooks books have been rewritten. They are better written and have more contemporary illustrations. I have different instructors than I did last year. All the instructors are very good and explain in English if need be. The approach seems more “gentle” than last year.
Another improvement is that the listening tapes are now available on MP3. Oh, how I hated those tape recorders!
So far, I'm doing okay and pleased with my progress. I seem to be learning hanzi, now that i've started all over.
Teacher Ma said that one of the teachers praised me and said that I talked a lot (!!!!).
However, today was only the third day of class, and I can see that the learning and difficulty will increase over time. It's easier for me now, but maybe that's because I have little bit of an edge from the classes I took last year. Time will tell. It is comforting to know that some of my classmate know even less Chinese than I do.
I told you before that there are less foreign students here because of increased security. There are only ten people in our class.
I am happy to say that I am not the only old guy in my class. There is an older Japanese man here. I'm guessing that he's about our age. He, too, seems to have taken Chinese language courses before.
We have four Thais in our class, three guys and one girl.
We have only one Russian in our class. He seems very young, but appears dedicated to learning Chinese. He actually laughed at one of our jokes. Like me, he likes to volunteer to speak. He's a likable guy.
We have two Africans from Benin, one guy from Papua, and one nice Muslim lady from Brunei.
The Canadian, Jerry, is also in my class. Real nice guy. I learned today that, in 2006, he was awarded the second place national Canadian award for partners figure skating. That's very impressive.
Tony is now in teaching classes in Qingdao. Actually, he was doing the same when we were here last year. He still comes up and visits us every now and then.
This weekend, which is a three-day holiday, we are going to Tsingdao. I'm hoping we can visit the brewery there.
