HONG KONG PICTURES ARCHIVE - MISC COLLECTION (HKPA.MISC)

NEW PICTURE POSTINGS
====================

Hello everyone. I was given a series of chinese comics to be posted and
since we don't have a comic archive as yet, I'll put it into our
HKPA.MISC archive. We'll see what the response is like first.

Anyways, I just uploaded the following files to the newsgroups
alt.binaries.pictures and alt.binaries.pictures.misc.

They are also available via ftp on the ftp site asia.lcs.mit.edu
under the directory pub/hongkong/hkpa/misc.

If anybody is also interested in this, please mail your message to him.
Also, I have ftped the cant_sng_zip from the ftp site and listened to 
them.  They are too short becasue they are just the samplers.  Although
there is some background noise, generally, they are good.

Well,there is a shop in MongKok which sells a lot of American books and 
magazines,but I'm not sure about comics,else there is a comic shop at
Nathan Rd("Comic Market") which has some Amercian comic,not sure if it
is up-top-date,or "Comic Tin Ha" in Causesway Bay Plaza,or try "Sino Center"
in MongKok,it is virtually a comics plaza by now(I think)
if there above doesn't have them, tell your friends in Australia to buy it 
for you.

  My great-grand father did not go to HK at all, perhaps he had never
heard about Hong Kong in his whole live. However, I see no relation
between my great-grand father with anything to do with what I tried to
say.

  If you read Shi's posting about this issue, I guess you may noticed
his over-emphesizing "MAINLANDERS ARE THE ONLY TRUE  CHINESE, AND THEY
SHOULD RULE ALL THE CHINESE. ALL THE CHINESE PEOPLE LIVES ELSE WHERE ARE
EITHER RUNNING DOC OR SLAVE..."

  Is that also you believe?

  So what is the point? Are you suggesting if someone did something
wrong and I should agree with him/her just because she/he came from
the same country as I did? NO, I don't buy this. And in fact, this is
root of racism.

  I don't know what did you do after you heard about the Japanese
official changed the history book issue. Is this kind of dignity you
want me to have?

  Sorry, I don't.

According to the consitution of United States, President of United States 
must be "Natural born citizen" of United States or citizen at the time the
consitution adopted. The birth place of the first President of United States,
Washington, was not in United States at that time. Moreover, the definition
of "Natural Born Citizen" is not clear. If a person who was born outside US
but his(her) perents are citizen before his(her) birthday, he(she) should
be "Natural Born Citizen" and is eligible to be elected to be president after
30 or 35 years (I'm not sure is 30 or 35).
