The corruption will be same or worse. As those resigned officials

In Taiwen,I was told, Jin1Men1 Cai4Dao1 earns
the best reputation, which is made by bomb

I guess Taiwan didn't need Iron & Steel plant before.
Now Taiwan may ask the mainland to sell some,

humorous lyrics a billy joel song about what's religion is really
about.  I guess I have to disclaim its views before the Christian fundies

ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late.
Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate,
I might as well be the one.

Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray,
they built you a temple and locked you away.
Ah but they never told you the price that you pay,
the things that you might have done.

      For only the good die young, that's what I say.
      Only the good die young, only the good die young.

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd.
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud.
We might be laughing a bit too loud,
oh, but that never hurt no one.

So come on, Virginia, show me a sign,
send up a signal, I'll throw you a line.
That stained glass curtain you're hiding behind
never lets in the sun.

      Darlin', only the good die young, wo-o-o-oh.
      I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young.

   You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation.
   You got a brand new soul and a cross of gold.
   It's a pity they didn't give you quite enough information.
   You didn't count on me when you were counting on your rosary.

Oh oh oh, and they say there's a heaven for those who will wait.
Some say it's better but I say it ain't.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,
the sinners are much more fun.

      You know that only the good die young, woo-oo-oo baby,
      I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young.

   Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
   Oh, she never cared for me but did she ever say a pray r for me.

Oh oh oh, come out, come out, come out, Virginia, don't let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late.
But sooner or later it comes down to fate,
I might as well be the one.

      You know that only the good die young, tell you, baby,
      you know that only the good die young, only the good die young.
      Only the good, good, only the good die young.
      Oo-oo-oo-o-oh o-o-oo-oo-o-oh

I guess you got it totally wrong here. The CCP plays the majority rule pretty
well. CCP's decision was never made by just one person. Rather, the majority
rule works. Take the '89 student movement as the example. It is not untill
that the central bureau of politics ruled out Mr. Zhao Zhiyang's decision by
a 3 over 2 majority poll that the Secretary General be defeated.

Another example: The notorous Adolf Hitler was democratically elected as the
president of Deutchland by the majority of his people. And I guess he ran his
presidency much better than Mr. Bush did: reduce the unemployment of Germany
to zero percent and made homeless people disappear from the streets. So, should
the German people support their elected president Hitler and not against any of
the decisions his government made, especially the decisions of wars?

People, be aware of one thing: There's only one step between the democracy and
dictatorship. This is the word from the one who originated the "Democracy
Formula" one year ago and who know democracy much better than any D-Fighters.

Do you mean Mr. William Clinton? I don't fell comfortable to call him "Bill".
Most of Chinese call him "Bill C" just for short. But some netters really
view him as a leader of D, leader of the world. Those guys call him "Bill"
is really not just for short.

Hi, alumni of Chengdu College of Geology staying oversea:

An effort is being made to work out an alumni directory for the people who ever
studied or worked in Chengdu College of Geology (Chengdu Di-Yuan) and are stayi
ng in this country. If you want to be in the directory (absolutely free), or if
 you know somebody else wants, send a breif message about your name, class, curr
ent address, phone number and major to wxg101@psuvm.psu.edu. So far I know at
least 25 of our alumni here and of course hope to have additional ten or
more. Once the dirctory is, if possible, completed, I will send the directory t
o all the alumni.
      The idea cameout when I met with some Di-Yuan alumni at GSA last week at
Cincinnati.Hopefully, such a directory will help you
      - find the person(s) you missed
      - talk to each other
      - get help from or provide help to your colleagues
      - seek possibilities for co-operative research
      - ...

      Thank you.         wxg101 at psuvm.psu.edu

There are plenty of reasons for Bush/Perot congratulating Bill Clinton,

But there is only ONE reason for IFCSS congratulating Bill!

It is _not_ true that Adolf Hitler was elected president of Germany by
majority vote.  His NSDAP party never got more than about 40% of the vote
in free elections.  He became Reichskanzler (prime minister) in 1933
through a coalition with other right-wing parties.  He then outmaneuvered
his coalition partners and secured dictatorial power.  When President
Hindenburg died not long afterwards, Hitler succeeeded him without any
elections.  No more free elections were held in Germany until after the
war.
