Lest We Forget! Twenty years ago!

Waiting for You to Come

I waited for you the other day,
But you did not come.
Knowing that you would not come,
I only hoped that you would come.
Until now, you still haven’t come,
Yet I am still hoping that you could come.
Eventually, you will come,
And I will always wait for you to come.
(1989.12)

等你來
(1989.12)
那天等你來
你卻沒有來
知你會不來
我只盼你來
至今你未來
我仍盼你來
終究你會來
永遠等你來
(注: 这里的那个”你”是指什么来这儿的朋友应该是心照不宣了, 快二十年过去了, 我还在等.)

What has torture done to us? A Nation that Tortures

What have we let the Neo-cons and the Cheney-Bush sickos turn the United States into? In less than eight years they have turned us from a respected beacon of Democratic aspiration--a trusted ally and a role model for national behavior into a nation where tortures that we executed Japanese as war criminals for after WWII are practiced, justified, and idealized?

What we don't do our selves, we outsource to others.

We have reverted into religious bigots, law-perverters, law-ignorers, spying on our own citizens, without moral compass, sense of shame, or scruple. What kind of behaviors will we see crop up increasingly in our own society as a result? Bread cast upon the waters . . . .
