Organization: AT&T

In a week is the western religious holiday Easter.  And you've probably
seen cardboard rabbits holding colored chicken eggs posted here and
there.  And chocolate bunnies at supermarkets and drug stores.  The
tradition has it that the Easter Bunny goes around hiding colored chicken
eggs for kids to hunt for and find on Easter Sunday.  

Why?  I'm an average ordinary white American who has lived his entire
life in USA, and I don't know of any reason for the Easter Bunny tradition.
Probably just something that is encouraged by chocolate candy manufacturers
to sell chocolate bunnies.  No, noone I know has roast rabbit for Easter
Sunday dinner.  :-)

Many people have asked me the source of the news. It was
published in World Journal on 4/4.

One netter has verified this news from the senate. The bill
has been passed and is now the Public Law #101-649.

Good luck.

You and me, of course. Unfortunately, you are going back to China. And I,
although don't like to be CCP's target, am not eligible to apply green
card thru the provision. So our community is really name-not-match-fact.

   Sometime I waited two days in airport without any compensation/apology

   The biggest trouble is that there is no computer guided landing system
in most airport, so when the visibility is low, pilot has to fly airplane
to another airport, thus disturb the whole flight schedule.

It has gone too far!  Neither Chinese nor Americans have the tradition of
April Fools MONTH.  Some netters need to clean up their acts.  I wish there
was a way to keep these untrue "news" from being posted here.  It is
everyone's interest to keep this group trust worthy.

Public Law #101-649 is passed by the 101th Congress, the current Congress is
102nd.  Apparently it was JOKE.  Many people care about the future of Chinese
Student, some may need to make career decisions based on the current law and
regulations.  This kind of JOKEs surely can create problems and stress for
some people. Is the person who manufactured the rumors willing to show up in
court in a liability suit?

Your "feeling" is wrong! When I was taking a course back in China on the project. At beginning sichanuan government was against the project because the reson 
you mentioned. But later on changed their mind. because the dam will let
10 thousand ton ship reach Chong Qing city from Shang Hai.
The project was extreamly complicated. Opinion could not be used as substituation for feasibility study. People who are against the project seem to be eager
in opposition to CCP, rather than any other legitmate resons with regard to
the project.

Someone recently claimed that Melvyn Goldstein is "objective" on issues
concerning Tibet.

That's not the case.  He's definitely a lama-supporter.  It is, however,
correct to say that he's more objective than most writers (probably including
me).

By the way, his textbook _Modern Literary Tibetan_ is OK if you can tolerate
the low-quality Indian paper and his non-native-looking Tibetan handwriting.
It even includes a section on the Bhutanese dialect of Tibetan.  He gives good
propaganda time to each side, incidentally.

an aplogist for a CCP apologist :-))

The difference is: Scott physically put 100 lines in his article (or
garbage, more propriately) while Paul just put a number in his post.

people for wasting bandwidth.

IMHO, Scott was stupid, Pual was not smart enough.
