HI! I read your message and have some feelings. If you are working
for the "communist" regime, then you don't need to read. Otherwise
it is up to you.
First let me tell you that I've been opposed to the communist regime
for the reason that from humane, justice or moral
point of view, they are really bad, if not evil. I am not saying
there is any thing wrong with the ideal of communism which I think
men are not good enough to take it. It is only because those fake
communists(I DO NOT MEAN EXACTLY EVERY SINGL ONE) have been using
it to do their evil(OF COURSE I DON'T MEAN EVERY THING THEY DO IS EVIL)
 
Most chinese students here are just common people except they are
better educated. People have different traits. Some care more
about others, some a little less. And usually each one has his
good, caring side and selfish side. Anyway we are in the world
trying to make a better life for oursselfs. You can never expect
every to sacrifice all his life for others. If one person is
doing something for himself, it dose not mean he is completly bad.
You can not even to expect a very noble person not to do anything
for himself. Human traits are of continuous spectrum, you should
put them into two extrems, totally good or bad. That holds for
classes too. Only Mao did in that way.
In most cases when you say some one is good, you don't mean evry thing
he dose is for others. You only mean that the good side is in upper
hand. no one meets the saint standard except God. Even worse you
generilized a whol group of people. It is Mao's education to think
only the bad side of others and alwayse suspect others. What Jesus
said is surely great,"why you always look at the speck in your
brother's eyes while ignoring the log in your own eye". I am not
saying I am not the same. I am sometimes. Deeply in my heart I
want China become better. But that dose not mean I will devote
my whole life for it, maybe I'll be just thinking about it.
 
Back to the protection bill, it happens that this bill give
some people personal benefits and some people support for the
sole reason of getting green card, it dosn't mean it dose not
do anything good. There is nothing wrong to have some thing
which mix personal benifits into something. I want green card.
By the way, I do think that the bill is related to human right
These days, the only thing you can do is give a slap  on the face.
In real life what you meet is often a delemma. No decision is
absolutely good, you have to choose one. Passing the bill
absolutely says something about human right. If china shows
real hope, I am sure somepeople with green cards will go back,
I don't know about you. But you can not expect every one to do
the same.
 
I am aware the fact it is not good for me to judge anyone.
But what you are doing is hurting many people. Do not always
assume that evry one is bad when you see a few very selfish
ones. What our motherland needs is faith, trust, morality not
just a new system. That can only be delivered by God,not poeple
who look at others in a bad way.
that is only my personal feelings, some may not be right.
 
THE ABOVE IS WHAT WROTE YESTODAY AND I WAS THINKING NOT TO SEND IT.
BUT I feel compelled to say something more to you after reading your
letter to the president.
I think your way of thinking is Mao's way . That is if you are not
perfect, then you are bad. If you see some people doing things not so
noble, you name the whole people bad. The real result of this is if you
you don't do bad, you are saint.(remenber you can be a model citizen
if you don't take bribe).
 
If you are trying to help the chinese regime and you think they are
giving you more bread. I think What they are is they killed your brothers
and they still tell you that they killed your brother in order to give
you more bread. If you think bread is more important than justice, you
CAN HELP THEM AND DON'T MENTION THE WORD 'BLOOD'.
Even worse, your letter sounds kind of dirty. In fact you are defacing
chinese people including you. you even try to blackmail the President
I know lots of people are supporting the bill not out of any noble
reason, But you way is worse than them. It is your kind of people
who call themself "noble" that are distriying trust and human virtue
by denying all.
By the way, I do think that always try to think others are totally
bad and suspect is what has ruined our country. they destroy trust,
honesty, faith, tolerence which are fundamental for human sociaty.
It is likely that this distorted way of reasoning is the marks
of Mao's education.
Or if you really think you are very noble, you don't need to undermine
others to show it.
SHOWING LOVE IS ALWAYS NOBLE, EVEN MORE WHEN TO YOUR ENEMY.
