Where was everybody?? |
After reading this article below, I immediately went down to
the Chinese mission in New York, expecting to join a huge anti-capital
punishment protest group. But I was the only protester there!
I finally went home and called "Equal Justice USA" who had
held a demonstration with about 185 demonstrators arrested outside the
Supreme Court and about 165 arrested in simultaneous demonstration in
San Francisco. The media focused on the demonstrators demands about
Mumia Abu-Jamal, a cop killer who was on death row.
I complained that nobody had protested the Chinese execution.
The woman who answered my questions said that capital punishment was
ok only if done by dictatorships. Like Iraq, for instance, she added.

Serial murderer executed in Henan
Yang Xinhai, who had killed 67 people and wounded 10 others in a
series of murders, robberies and rapes, was executed Saturday in
central China's Henan Province.
Yang, 35, was sentenced to death on Feb. 1 by the Luohe City
Intermediate People's Court in Henan, and he had not appealed against
the sentence.
Since 1999, Yang, who was described as a very "insidious" criminal by
police, had moved around and committed crimes in 26 cases in rural
areas of Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Hebei provinces. He was arrested
in November 2003 in Cangzhou City of north China's Hebei Province.
Local police said Yang usually carried out criminal actives at night
and cleared the scenes of crime before he ran away. Each time, he wore
new clothes and shoes with larger size than his own.
Yang, who was born in July 1968 in Zhengyang County of Henan, had been
imprisoned twice on charges of burglary and rape. He was released from
prison in 1999.

Opposing China is very bad right now Ken - Rupert Murdoch wants to get
pally with them, and the western govts are colluding in this.

mumbled incoherently:
There's a lot of things over which we Americans deserve to be
attacked:
- The fate of Native Americans (this is common to the entire Western
Hemisphere)
- Obesity
- Religiosity
Since when did being religious become a liability? Europeans
could use a bit of religion, I believe, to stop their love of
holocasts and ethnic cleansing campaigns.
Both were made in the name of religion, *****.
The Germans did not murder millions because of religion, and
the Yugos were involved in "ethnic cleansing" by athiest Yugoslavians,
*****.
- Monolingualism
Sir, you obviously don't live in the United States. Here in
New York, most signs are in Spanish and English. We have Chinese,
German, Ukranian, Taiwanese, Russian, Hasidic Jewish neighborhoods,
all with their own languages. I believe that California is similar. We
are trying to develop a dual language system so we can get along just
as the French Canadians and English speaking Canadians do. <tongue in
cheek>
And who's learning the other guy's language?
In Canada? Everybody in public schools are taught English and
French. In New York, students must learn a foreign language, usually
French or Spanish is chosen.
- Unilateralism
I don't know about that one either. The US invaded Afganistan
and Iraq with five other natons with at least 36 other nations
assisting in policing Iraq at this time.
Their governments, not their peoples.
Elected representatives of their people, you mean.
By the way, a French person has no business making fun of any other
nation's sense of humor. It's not your strong point.
Now wait a minute. What about all those Jerry Lewis movie
buffs?
Ha ha ha, didn't you read this NG earlier? NOBODY knows who Jerry Lewis is
here!!!! It is just something Americans like to believe!! It is yet another
trait of not what the french are like, but what the STUPID AMERICANS LIKE TO
THINK THE FRENCH ARE LIKE!!!!
Cannes - 2000
JUNE 5, 2000: CANNES - They have an unqualified love for Jerry
Lewis, Mickey Rourke, and American "B" cult directors. But why, LA
moguls growl, are the French so hostile to mainstream, market-driven
Hollywood? The annual Cannes Film Festival is regarded as especially
snobby, its Competition adverse to even the snazziest studio product.
It's been four years since Cannes's director, Gilles Jacob, has set
foot in LaLa land.

Perhaps no popular film artist in history inspired quite so many
conflicting opinions and emotions as actor/comedian Jerry Lewis. Often
reviled in his native United States but worshipped as a genius
throughout much of Europe and especially France, Lewis took slapstick
comedy to new realms of absurdity and outrageousness, his anarchic
vision dividing audiences who found him infantile and witless from
those who applauded the ambitions of his sight gags, his subversions
of standard comedic patterns, and his films' acute criticisms of
American values.
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800029684&cf=biog&intl=us
A fact not widely known in the United States is that Jerry has won the
Best Director of the Year award eight times in Europe since 1960;
three in France, and one each in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Spain and
the Netherlands. When "Hardly Working" opened in Paris, the marquee on
the Champs Elysees simply read "JERRY". No further explanation was
necessary for Jerry's French fans. The French film critic, Robert
Benayoun, wrote: "I consider Jerry Lewis, since the death of Buster
Keaton, to be the foremost comic artist of the time. He corresponds to
his era both reflecting and criticising our civilization." The French
director, Jean-Luc Godard, said: "Jerry Lewis is the only American
director who has made progressive films, he is much better than
Chaplin and Keaton."

And there ARE no mimes with striped shirts
here! We hate mimes!!!!
Speaking of mimes, Adora and I stayed for a while with an American
mime living in Paris. According to him, Paris is THE place to study
mime (or is it miming?). Anyway, he took us to a mime theater to see a
presentation of a famous Bertolt Brecht play, the name of which
escapes me. I must admit that I speak very little French, but hey,
this is mime! No sweat. Wrong! I can't explain it, but you had to know
French to follow the story.

And women shave their armpits, and everybody takes
showers.
Oh come on. When the French had dumped the Statue of Liberty
in New York Harbour and had gone back home to their wine, frogs,
snails and funky-smelling cheeses, US workers had to chisel off her
half-ton of copper armpit hair.
The France you're thinking of doesn't even EXIST.
I must have confused your France with the one the rest of the
world knows as France - berets, Jerry Lewis film festivals, armpit
hair, laws against Muslim headscarves and all that "culture".
Er, you get something right, though. We're better lovers than you are!!!!
Well, I won't argue that one. But we are at least allowing gay
people to marry now. Which is not an all bad thing - they should
suffer as we heterosexuals have for centuries.
