So far, no countries have been successful to sell high-tech
weapons to Taiwan. I wonder what the serious consequences claimed
by CG will be. I think this time CG must feel to be betrayed by
President Bush. For Bush, the winning of the election is more
important than any other things.

      So, you're rich and you are over-eaten (Chi0 bao3 liao0 cheng1 de0)!
You want to throw out your Chinese family because other brothers and
sisters are comparatively poorer, and you don't want to share a family
name any more. How selfish you are! Day-dreamer, take your ROT ideal

There is a series of Chinese cook books published by Taiwan
named "Pei Mei Cook Book" ( Pei2 Mei2 Cai4 Pu3 ). The books
are written in both Chinese and English, and they are good.
You may probably get a copy from local libraries. I also
saw them in some Chinese grocery stores.

A fellow netter pointed out in personal email that the above posting of mine
can be read with racist overtones (though he didn't use the word racist).
I did not mean to suggest that all Chinese should feel the same way because
they are Chinese, and not white.

I mentioned the fact that I am white so it would be clear where I'm coming
from and because I feel that fact may be responsible for the way I feel.
Chinese-Americans are a minority group obviously, and this might be an
important difference in how one view him/herself w.r.t. US history. And it 
may not.

Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I have inadvertantly offended anyone with 
this posting. I should have been more careful with the wording of the
question.

Oh, my my!  You have respect to a person and that is the reason I can not
