>>>It still appears you have much to learn about foreign publications.

I would say, 15 years in Taiwan is far too much time away from the United States of America. You've been de-Americanized and must become acclimatized to this great land. Someday, you might even wake up and begin to better appreciate the freedom and liberty living in the USA affords you.

For me, a short stint in SE Asia many years ago and in more recent times, dealing directly in foreign markets, has taught me, how fortunate I was to have been born in this land of freedom and liberty. I wouldn't take a foreign post, for all the money in the world.

Glad you had the foreign exposure.

Sure I appreciate the freedoms I was born into.

Alas, I had more freedom to answer questions about God in the universities in Mainland China and in Taiwan than I'd probably have here.

Something's quite sad and upside down about that.

And, I suspect a lot of the freedoms we hold so dear and take so for granted are illusory or at best rice paper thin removed from being jerked well and brutally away.

And, in my experience, people in Mainland China--especially the more rural but not only--have much more of the care, respect and attention to relationships than has become so common here and sadly, in present day Taipei--though thankfully there's still a strong substrate for it even there.

Not only are neighborhoods and cities here fractured by the hideous leftists ideologies, manipulations and behaviors, families have forgotten or neglected to attend to what it means to be family.

And our precious values we are flooding the world with via Hollyweed is caring such fracturing of families far and wide. Though, certainly, normal human arrogance and greed as well as a range of lusts seem to do well enough without Hollyweed.

I treasure the US OF A wholeheartedly and served faithfully in her Navy and was glad to do so, honored to do so. Still willing to die for her.

But The US OF A is NOT Heaven. It is not flawless.

And any country or group who would elect Dilldo and Shrillary twice has more than a few screws loose and is short quite a few brick loads.
