A Good President or Cheap Vodka?

Greetings Cat,
A good stiff what?

[Lilly]

Cat, I am so glad to see you are back. One of my myriad of emails is lillynomad@mailcity.com or did you lose my ICQ address? 57888909
Talk to you soon sister. Love you and look forward to visiting you in Florida very soon. I keep my frying pan handy these days.

P.s. I hang my hat on the Ukraine.com boards these days. I found a family there and feel at home.

Lilly

P.S. Bill, she probably meant a stiff shot of Barak Palinka honey. I hear it gives the same effect.

Hi Lilly,
I like your ideas about Russia. It seems That any country under attack must accept a dictator as a leader to protect from the outside. And Russia is always under attack from someone and now it is from the peaceful West.
We think China is our lover but China is still licking its lips after devouring Hong and is now ready for Tawain. Mabe we could be like Chamberlin and give the beast what it wants. We could bring peace in our time as Chamberlin said.

Hello Gene,
How do you feel about a country protecting
and or reclaiming territory that is rightfully theirs? Tawain is an integral
part of China that was taken ower by international bandits after they could not defend their cause on the mainland. Time does not change the fact that this was a BANDIT action. I would think that civilized people would insist on correcting such a major injustice.
Good luck.

Hello Ungaro,
It was my understanding that Tawian was not part of China but When Chan k sheck was driven from China he set up a China government in Tiwain. This overpowered the native people.
In any case would you give up millons of free people who want to remain free to a communist country?
Tell me more about the bandits.
Gene

Greetings Gene,
It's a funny world I tell you. Chang and his gang escaped to Tawain before Mao could really kick their but. Tawain and the other smaller island in the area were taken over
by Chang. These island were and are a part of China. The only difference is that the
Chinese now have the the military ability to take the islands back. Hong Kong is a good
point to consider. I want to tell you about
Macao also. I have been to Hong Kong before
and after the the Chinese take over. Other than the new airport, it's hard to tell the difference. Hong Kong is still a booming city. Kawloon is still the shopping center of the world. The Ferry is still only 15 cents. Dinner at the Marriott is still going to cost you Hundred Dollars per person. Rich people from Asia still keep their money in the bank of China.(Even when Hong Kong was
British the Bank of China was highly respected)The people seem to be totally uneffected by the change. Nothing has changed. No communist under the bed or in the closet of the hotels. I have not been to Macao since the take over. Let me tell you that under the Portugese it was one of the
dirtiest places in the world. The trip on the Hydrofoil from Hong Kong takes 50 minutes. We spent only a couple of hours
on Macao and we were ready to go back to Hong Kong. I am sure that the Chinese take over can only improve on things. Now back to Tawain. It would not be different from Hong Kong. The people of Tawain would not be effected. They could still make the cheap jewelry and all the electronic gadgets. They could remove the machine guns from the airport. I swear I tought we were landing in in Berlin just after the war. You should see all the military, paranoid or what. Anyway, the communists are not the issue. The issue is that Tawain belongs to China. I hope that things can be worked out without war.

Greetings D.Sowders,
No, I do not want to defend comminism, capitalism, socialism, dollarism or any of tha other isms. I do hope that I am allowed to make my own judgements. Chang and his gang
were bandits. As they were moving south they looted, burned, raped. They took all the cash reserves that China had with them. When
they occupied Tawain, China did not have the military capability to kick them off the islands. Now they do. The situation has changed on Tawain also. While the Kuomintang
is still the ruling party, they are much more mild. The best I can tell you is that
you should go to Hong Kong and see for your self. They seem to be happy as a lark. They think that they are Chinese, and they are happy. People in Tawain would feel the same way. Please leave communism out of the picture. What do you think?
