Everybody thinks they are so great.  Fuck them.  For many of us, this world is 
just a play. We act each part of our lives in a play and we get no where.  We 
succeed nowhere and our dreams always dies on us.  We can always hope that we 
are rich, but we will never be rich.  I wonder to myself is this world crazy or 
I am the one that is going crazy.  It doesn't matter..... Life is not short so 
we can never play hard.  We give 200% of ourselves in this world and this world 
never gives us anything back.  How cruel don't you think?  I am a student, and 
it is useless.  When I graduate from college, will I get a job.  Who will 
guarantee me a job.  If you are then you must be God.  
	I am going way off here and criticizing the world.  It deserves too.  
Many dreams dies every second of every minute of every hour of every day of 
every week of every year.  It is a continuous effort on our part to fix this 
world.  It does not promote the goodness in this world, but it only create more 
problems.  How come?
	I don't want to hear 'experts' in telling me that I am crazy.  I am not 
crazy.  I have an iq of 200 and my gpa is 4.00.  I know where I am from, do you 
know where you are from?  From your mother's womb.  Fuck, that's what everybody 
thinks.  You are from the fucking that your mother did to your dad and your dad 
did to your mother......

Do you mean those bad Catholics are good people and they are bad because
they are Catholics?  Do you mean true Catholics are good
Catholics?  May be a short definition on bad, good, true people/Catholics

You are not acting the way of the insurance company.  The insurance companies
are willing to cooperate with the young, newly licensed male drivers and will
trim down the premium after some certain time.  They never say "WILL NOT
COOPERATE WITH ..."

     Hello, (who ever you are, you didn't sign your name)

     First of all, let's get the title right.  It should be "Living, enjoying,
and dying", or "To live, to enjoy, and to die".  Now, I will attempt to answer
some of your points.  Ofcourse, this is only from my perspective, from the 
way I perceive the world around me.

     1.  It's not correct to say that everybody thinks they are great.  I for 
one never think of myself as greater than anyone.  Nevertheless, I never think
of myself as lesser than anyone.  You said you have an IQ of 200 and a GPA of
4.0, and yet you accused everybody for thinking that they are great?  What is 
your logic here?

     2.  You said that "We succeed nowhere and our dreams always dies on us".
Well, what do you mean "We"?  Are you saying that the whole world population of
several billion people are not going anywhere at all?  Look around you and open
your eyes to the success of your friends, your colleagues, or your family 
members.  What about dreams?  Dreams never come true!  What is a dream?  Is it
not an escape from reality?  People often become confused between goals and 
dreams.  I set out my goals and I will strive toward achieving my goals.  While
if you think of your dreams and keep dreaming until they come true then,
my friend, let me tell you, dreams never come true.  So it's a matter of per-
ceiving your objectives.

     3.  You obviously have no respect for your origin, your parents.  (You 
indicated clearly in your posting).  Therefore, I can conclude that you have
no respect for yourself either.

     4.  You wrote at the end ".....Times running out on you".  No, time is not
running out on us.  Time is running out on YOU.


     Well, this is enough for now, until next time then.  And please spare us
the foul language.  At least, talk like a 4.0-with-200-IQ person for a change.
Maybe your life will start moving.  Good luck to you.

From The Wall Street Journal (11/12/92)
By Gerald F. Seib and Jeffrey H. Birnbaum
Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

WASHINGTON-President-elect Clinton, in a clear sign of how he will handle the
question of Vietnam, said he won't normalize ties with any nation "at all
suspected" of withoulding information on missing Americans.
     In his first formal speech since winning the election, the Arkansas
governor told a Veteran Day gathering in Little Rock that he plans a vigorous
effort to resolve the question of U.S. soldiers missing in the conflict in
Southeast Asia.  He strongly suggested that movement on that question will
have a higher initialy priority than building the political and economic ties
the Vietnamese government clearly covets.
     "I have sent a clear message that there will be no normalization of
relation with any nation that is at all suspected of witholding any
information," Mr. Clinton said.  "We must have as full an accounting as is
humanly possible."
      The issue is sensitive for Mr. Clinton because his opposition to the
Vietnam War and his explanation of how he avoided being drafted became
political issues in the presidential campaign.

THAI CROWN PRINCE ARRIVES IN VIETNAM

    HANOI, Nov 15, Reuter - Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand arrived in
Vietnam on Sunday for a six-day official visit.
    "I hope this visit will open a new important era in the relations between
the two countries," he told Vietnamese Deputy President Nguyen Thi Binh who
greeted him.
    The crown prince, the first member of the Thai royal family to travel to
Hanoi, is scheduled to meet Vietnamese President Le Duc Anh, Prime Minister Vo
Van Kiet and Communist Party Chief Do Muoi before flying to Ho Chi Minh city on
Wednesday.

As far as I am concerned, we have to separate the trade embargo and the
normalization with Vietnam.  Personally, I would support lifting the
trade embargo against Vietnam.  But normalization with Vietnam is a
different matter, and whether it should follow or not depends on how the
Vietnamese government will act toward its people after the embargo
is lifted (which may take months or years before normalizing).

I think on SCV, we recently discussed more on the trade embargo (unless
I am out-of-date).  Thus netters who respond to the proposed survey
(support/oppose normalization) may want to notice the difference, in
order to avoid error on the survey result.

Take care,

 Hello.  I'm trying to find the birthdate of a friend of mine, born in
Vietnam, who doesn't know her birthday because the certificate was filed
late.  It was the tenth month, sixteenth day, of 1972, on the Chinese 
calendar.  Does anyone know the equivalent of this on the western calendar?
Please reply via email, to  servant@oxy.edu   Thankyou!

NUMBERS OF VIETNAM BOAT PEOPLE DOWN TO A TRICKLE, DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM HAILED

HANOI (NOV. 19) DPA - Vietnam's "boat people" exodus was down to a trickle
during the first half of 1992, thanks in part to the European Community's
development programme for returnees, Radio Hanoi said Thursday.

During the period January-June this year only one boatload of Vietnamese
refugees arrived in Malaysia, 12 refugees arrived in Hong Kong and nine were
reported in Singapore, Macau or the Philippines, the broadcast said.

In 1991, during the same period, more than 20,000 Vietnamese boat people fled
their homeland. Since 1975 more than one million Vietnamese have taken to the
high seas to escape political suppression or economic depression at home.

Radio Hanoi said that one reason for the drop-off in boat people was that the
conditions for those returning to Vietnam, especially from the refugee camps of
Hong Kong, had improved under the development programmes of the E.C. and the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Last year the E.C. donated 13 million U.S. dollars to establish a "returnee
programme" for boat people to entice them home and gradually build up the
standard of living through job creation schemes in target coastal areas.

The majority of Vietnam's recent boat people have been classified as "economic
refugees" and are thus ineligible for regugee status and resettlement abroad
under the UNHCR guidelines.
