Anyone who go back to China now without "Juan4-feng1-shi3-duo4" will be 
punished. This is as true as the earth is round.And no one,including you
want to have a life that.Do you dare to say you can go back and say whatever
you think you should say?

Some of your fellows get green cards does you no harm.Shannon's crazy remarks
truely is misleading. But if you could just use your brain and think about it,
these questions may come up to your mind :
1.Suppose no CSS get green card this time,what will happen to you ?
---- You will have to compete with thousands of CSS who are as smart as you
but have been here longer and have more experience than you. 
2.Is this what you like to see ?
---- No,but this is shannon's goal.Because he get paid for doing this (if not
who in the world can afford to spent so much time on posting so many articles
and organizing a so called blood-card email net?) But you don't.
3.If shannon wins,who is the looser ?
---- I don't need to help you with this question.But my hint is: that include 
you too.
4.One of shannon's most used argument,which is also the most misleading one
is to call those who are fighting for freedom and better life imoral.He 
stigmatizes them with the so called "blood-carder". But you may ask yourself:
who is the criminal,who is the victim,who should blamed and who should be 
helped.Moreover,Chinese C. gorverment has not changed anything toward democracy
and if at this time no one in the world does a thing about it,when do you think
the long dreamed democracy can come to that land ?
Now you should know who is really imoral.
5.Why shannon does this ?
---- Most people are convinced by the fact that he is paid for doing so.In
other words,he does this for a living. Some people think he is insane. Well,
probably,but it can hardly convince me,of curse you ethier,who has already 
tended to think negetively.We can see his vicious strategy very clearly:he
is tyring to seperate us by his thoroughly designed arguments.So far it
seems he has been doing so so. Not as many people as he expected have been
led in his way. But we should be careful,he will work much harder and more
aggressively when his pay is getting fewer and fewer. 

Think about it.
