上回aiyayayaya推荐光头大哥Shel Silverstein的儿童书，我看了几本，深感他的《

Julie Contes stood in front of the Match Day crowd at Skipper's Smokehouse
Thursday and opened the envelope that would determine her future.
And then she froze.
Contes stood quiet for so long that her mother wondered why she didn't just

But Contes just stared, her eyes welling with tears.

今天的经文，最喜欢这句：但寻求耶和华的，什么好处都不缺
【今日默想禱讀經文】詩 34:9-14
耶和華的聖民哪！你們要敬畏他，因為敬畏他的一無所缺。少壯獅子有時還缺
食挨餓，但尋求耶和華的，甚麼好處都不缺。
孩子們！你們要來聽我；我要教導你們敬畏耶和華。
誰喜愛生命，愛慕長壽，享受美福， 就要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐
的話；也要離惡行善，尋找並追求和睦。
【今日信息】 敬畏神的好處 By Rev. Andrew Tsai
柏倫納德 （David Brainerd, 1718-1747） 是美國早期向印地安人傳敎的宣教士
。這位青年的宣教士，雖然患肺癆，卻深愛那些不認識神的土人，勤奮向他們傳福音，
他尤其注重禱告。
有一天深夜，一群印地安人，手持戰斧，潛近柏倫納德的帳篷，悄悄從帳篷的縫
中張望。他們看見那宣教士，跪在帳篷內禱告。一條極毒的響尾蛇，爬到他的兩腳中間

Financial Regulatory Reform
Updated: Sept. 20, 2011
The near-collapse of the world financial system in the fall of 2008 and the
global credit crisis that followed gave rise to widespread calls for changes
in the regulatory system. A year and a half later, in July 2010, Congress
passed a bill expanding the federal government's role in the markets,
reflecting a renewed mistrust of financial markets after decades in which
Washington stood back from Wall Street with wide-eyed admiration.

资源丰富，人口相对较少
靠天吃饭，可以随便挥霍
比如北欧的那些国家，比如澳大利亚
其实，这类环境即便是专制，也会过得不错，例如沙特阿拉伯
对于其他国家，民主自由的结果就是最终破产，比如西欧南欧正在这条破产路上大踏步
前进，日本经济上也是裹足不前了好几年，美国正在欧巴马带领下踏上欧洲的道路

发帖数: 5581 | 46 东部还有印第安保护区啊。比如最早接触欧洲殖民者的Wampanoags部落，现在在麻省
Duke County的Watuppa Wampanoag Reservation。2000年人口统计的时候就剩91个人了
。Wampanoags很悲愤的。在1970年，麻省Department of Commerce为纪念the Pilgrims
' Landing 350周年，邀请Wampanoag人Frank James（印第安名字Wamsutta）发
表演讲。但Frank James演讲稿没有通过审查，被噤声了（谁说只有共产党搞
censorship的）。如果麻省DOC给予他言论的自由，那么他在纪念仪式上将会发布如下
演讲（希望大家能耐心读下去，我觉得写得相当不错，白人挖人家坟的事情都是真的。
里面提到的印第安酋长的雕像应该还在，有在Plymouth的同学没有？）：

发帖数: 82482 | 47 Of the 1,155 U-boats Germany sent into combat, 725 had been sunk in the
longest battle of the war. Lasting nearly six years, over 35,000 German
sailors had put to sea, with 28,744 never returning – a death rate of 82
percent, the highest casualty rate of any armed forces of any conflict in
the history of modern war. Yet in this appalling casualty rate, there was
never any shortage of men to enlist in the U-boat service, and until the
very last day, the men of the U-boat service stood ready to pu... 阅读全帖 |

Gerard Nolst Trenité - The Chaos (1922)
Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.
I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.
Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.
Sword and sward, reta... 阅读全帖 |

some observations/summary:
1. topics of political issues: he really pushed the limit I think. "bad ass"

it by saying that's why O8 decided not to come, and started talking about
immigration reform
2. topics of american history: 1st two was very well received by the

发帖数: 149 | 50 不能对在美主流英文媒体的不实报导进行揭露吗？刚才写的大意是：
看看The New York Times. 报导。指责军人抢攻。大意是僧人发现一被埋的小女孩，在
旁边休息的救援军人过来救人抢功。没有证据显示是僧人首先发现。退一步，即使是僧
人首先发现，合共同的力量来救人应该是对的。
JIEGU, China — The Buddhist monks stood atop the jagged remains of a
vocational school, struggling to move concrete slabs with pickax shovels and
bare hands. Suddenly a cry went out: A hand, clearly lifeless, was poking
through the debris. Monks Assist in Rescue EffortBut before the monks could
finish their task, a group of Chinese soldiers who had been re |
