A Democracy…

Posted by invizweb on July 4, 2009

Here is a followup to last year’s post.

A democracy should not give credence to the military ambition of the corporate interests

A democracy would not advocate the burning of books

A democracy could not seriously consider chaining the accused after freeing their ancestors from the same bondage

A democracy does not actively conspire to murder its citizens especially without a trial

A democracy will not abrogate the promised privacy of its citizens by sending tax paid spies to infiltrate and misinform them

A democracy can not conduct medical experiments targeting any group whether it’s based on ethnicity or belief system or otherwise

A democracy may not conduct experiments that alter the mental faculties of its citizens especially in the development of weapons

A democracy definitely must not conduct clandestine military operations to set up dummy governments on foreign soil and most definitely not with the unknowing dollars of its tay paying citizens

A democracy is not supposed to fund and train the above activities under the auspices of philanthropy

A democracy which does not sell or even advocate the retail of dangerous substances such as narcotics should never do so on foreign soil especially to barter for weapons

A democracy would never use a tax paid military to attack its civilians especially minors, pets, and pregnant women with unannounced lethal force

A democracy could never use a tax paid military to attack its citizens who non-violently exercise their right to speech with deadly force

A democracy can never control and block media from informing the news to its citizens especially news of its tampering of evidence in cases of their wrong doing

A democracy may never ever detain its citizens exercising their free speech peacefully without trial by jury especially in hazardous inhumane insanitary environs

A democracy must never betray those who defend its freedom and compromise national security especially as a petty act of revenge

A Last Hurrah for Xia (俠) Past

Posted by invizweb on June 8, 2009

On June 03, 2009, David Carradine’s body was found in his Bangkok Hotel room.   He had a rope around his neck, but his arms were also bound thus causing some to question if it was suicide.  Carradine was most renowned for his role as Kwai Chang Caine (and his grandson) in Kung Fu and Kung Fu:  the Legend Continues, as well as Bill in Kill Bill. He was age 72.

However, around the time of David Carradine’s passing, Shih Kien (石堅), left the world at age 96.  Shih, born on January 1, 1913, in the then Republic of China’s Guangdong province, a pioneer of Hong Kong cinema and the wuxia (Medival martial arts action) genre of films was famous for his role as Mr.  Han, the main antagonist, in Enter the Dragon.  As a kid, I saw him first in the role of Iron Palm Sect champion Qiu Qianren (Kou Chianyun) and his twin Qiu Qianzhang (Kou Chianjiang) in the TVB 1982 adaption of Jin Yong’s Legend of Condor Heroes and Return of the Condor Heroes serial novels. Every inch a villain he played.  Thus to this day, atrocious villains in wuxia films are called Shih Kiens.  Mr.  Shih passed away due to kidney failure June 03, 2009.

Thank you.  You both brought much joy to the world and to my life:  you helped a little boy dream.
