I wonder why we allow people we don't like to take away ideas or
feelings or even colors that are ours.  Why let the communists co-opt
the color red, co-opt part of the language, co-opt the word peace, and
so on?  I realize the importance to some people of "making a
statement."  Yeah, make a statement and make a splash.  I also realize
that avoiding taboos is part of the Vietnamese tradition, whether with
colors or words.  But when too much is tabooed for symbolic reasons,
life has quite a bit less color.  And when you react to other people's
standard of political correctness by erecting your own, "count me me
out," as the Beatles sung.

P.S. --	According to a Jeopardy "question," red is the most common
	color in the flags of countries.  Not surprising, since it
	represents passion and sacrifice--something that isn't specific
	only to communists, if you don't mind my pointing that out.

Yes, the PhD and Eng ScD programs have identical academic requirements
with regard to courses, thesis (this may be theoretical or experimental
or both), and examinations. They do differ in residence requirements and
in certain administrative details (like, as mentioned above, students who
elect the PhD degree register in the Grad School of Arts and Sciences;
those who elect the Eng ScD degree register in the School of Engineering).

They're engineers (ky? su+) still, and how are you supposed to call them?
That depends on how well you know them. If you know them well (that is, if
they're your friends), then "ma`y, tao" would be fine, in my view. :) 
Otherwise, you can call them "doctor" (tie^'n si~), I suppose.

I once read an article in a mainland Chinese magazine at the time Tibet
was a hot issue.  The writer claimed that China has the indisputable proof
that Tibet was always a part of China.  Proof: a letter that the Tibetan
ruler in the 13th century sent to the Mongolian emperor who, at the time,
ruled China accepting to be the vassal state of the Yuan empire and the
jade seal that the emperor gave to the Tibetan ruler.

With that kind of reasoning, the USA should belong to England, England
should become a part of France, Vietnam is a part of China, Southern
China is a part of Vietnam, China is a part of Mongolia, etc.

About the rights of discoveries, Vietnam and many other countries in the
region also claimed that their fishermen in times of antiquity discovered
the islands.  Considering that Southeast Asians have been adept seafarers
(in contrast to Northern Chinese who were more land-bound), these claims
appear to have some foundations.

Subject: Opinion Poll ???
Date: 21 Jul 92 11:07:12 GMT
Organization: Edinburgh, Scotland


My 2 cents on the opinion poll issue:

During the general election week in April 1992, opinion polls
from all the reliable newspapers in the UK such as the Times, the Guardian,
the Daily Telegrapph, The Independent had given Labour Party 5 to 10 points
leading over the Conservative Party for every single day. I still remember
the happy face and victorious smile on Labour leader, Neil Kinnock in the
night before the general election result . But you do
know what the real result had turned out at midnight on 9th, April, 1992.
Regardless of loosing opinion polls, The Conservative Party had again
stayed in power with strong victory over the Labour Party. This had stunned
all the Labour supporters in Scotland (but not me, I did predict the Conservative`
would win) and teaches other people not to trust the opinion poll too much.

BTW, Mr John Major, the current British Prime Minister who has  been
recognised as strong leader who had skillfully led the Conservative
out the the crisis after Mrs Thatcher's resignation in Nov, 1990,
left school at 16 and didn't possess any qualification, who even failed
the numerical test when he applied for the post of ticketman on bus,
who of course didn't take any course in logic or not in touch with it at all
but John Major is indeed well-known and admired by the British for
his logical mind and capability of reasoning. So possesing knowledge
in logic doen't tell us any thing, Long Nguyen. I insert this detail
herewith for  Long Nguyen's consideration who self claims a logician
and wants to introduce his plan to save VN with his logic. What a illogical
claim !!!

I would like to comment that the elementary set theory problem above may
be too easy for logicians who have discussed NP complete and intractable
problems in theoretical computer science.

A more interesting discussion may be for the logicians to initiate their
next discussion by describing their intuition about NP complete problems.
Illustrations of famous classical examples and their application in current
technology would be a plus for such talk. Please, formal proofs are not
required because of its dryness and ... time limitation.

If the strike was part of a nation-wide then I'd be a multi-millionaire
businessman :-))).


Anyway, I do not see the line of reasoning; but I'll go along.
If my employees go on strike to demand higher wages and improved working
conditions then I'd negotiate with their representatives.  I'll try
to accomodate their wishes if it is within my power.  That is, if the
increase wages will not cut too much into my profit (I am speaking as
a regular business man, not as Luong).  If the inproved working coditions
are not too excessive then why not ?  After all, every capitalist know that
the better you treat your employees, the more they return to you.

Vietnam, Thailand to exchange prisoners in goodwill gesture 

 	BANGKOK, Thailand (UPI) -- Vietnamese Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet left
 Wednesday after reaching an agreement with his Thai counterpart on an
 exchange of jailed fishermen, a goodwill gesture aimed at improving
 relations between the two former Cold War rivals.
 	More than 800 Thai fishermen are in Vietnamese jails charged with
 fishing illegally, while Thai authorities are holding 30 Vietnamese
 fishermen, who Hanoi says are naval personnel, on piracy charges.
 	Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun told reporters after a two-hour
 meeting with Kiet late Tuesday in the eastern resort of Pattaya that
 both sides would release the prisoners unconditionally. However, he said
 the agreement will not end the fishing disputes between the two
 countries.
 	Vietnamese authorities often seize Thai fishermen who stray into the
 more abundant waters off Vietnam in search of a better catch. Thai naval
 officials have charged Vietnamese pirates have also seized or attacked a
 number of Thai fishing boats recently.
 	Kiet left for Hanoi Wednesday at the end of his two-day visit.
 	``We talked with open hearts and were able to establish good personal
 relations,'' Anand said. ``There was no exchange of accusations as in
 the past.''
 	Kiet first came to Thailand in October, two months after taking
 office, in the first such trip by a Vietnamese prime minister in 13
 years. That visit marked the start of a new era in relations between the
 Southeast Asian nations.
 	Thailand sent troops to fight with the U.S.-backed government in
 Saigon during the Vietnam War and provided bases from which U.S.
 warplanes bombed Vietnam.
 	After the war, Thailand quickly recognized the communist government,
 but fell out with Hanoi over the 1978 Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia.
 The withdrawal of Vietnamese troops from Cambodia in 1989 and the
 signing of a peace agreement last year have markedly improved ties
 between the two countries.
 	Anand visited Vietnam in January, the first such trip by a Thai prime
 minister since the communist victory in 1975.
 	However, analysts said Bangkok is concerned that other Southeast
 Asian nations, such as Malaysia and Singapore, have overtaken Thailand
 in forging closer economic links with Hanoi.
 	Business relations have also not always gone smoothly due to
 differences in the cultures and legal systems of the two countries.
 	Thailand's fast-growing economy needs Vietnam's natural resources,
 cheap labor force and potentially large market, while Vietnam needs the
 capital, managerial expertise and technical know-how of the Thais as it
 attempts to liberalize its economy.
 	Differences over development of the lower Mekong River basin have
 also clouded Thai-Vietnamese relations recently.
