Two Holidays

Dec. 25th 2011 Real Christmas

I went to Professor Moody Chu's home for Christmas dinner. There are several guests in the party tonight. Professor's daughter studying in Boston came home for the holiday. Professors' prepare lot of food to feed guests. Bread, rib, tofu rolls and more homemade cuisine. After dinner, his daughter played piano and we sang hymn to praise Jesus and God. I'm not a christian, but I admire the region that leads their whole family from hardship to success. And of course their achievement should attribute to the professor and his wife's efforts.

這幾日較早回家。上網想找人聊天，又怕打擾人家上班。於是看看閒書和玩DQ6。這兩樣東西本是計畫耶誕節到新年期間，校園關閉時打發時間用的。DQ6進度已經推入中盤，但這本書早早用了幾個夜晚將它看完。

The Season of Regret

Wednesday 23^rd

As an international student, Thanksgiving doesn’t mean a lot to me. A math professor invited some Taiwanese students to his home for Thanksgiving dinner. They made hundreds of fried pumpkin dumplings. After dinner the professor told us Bible stories. Joe had read both Buddhist classic and Bible so he described some differences and similarities between both religions. I’m free-spirited, but it doesn’t mean I have to deny anything belonging the religion. I believe in Capitalism and classic Liberty; I learned Communism and Fascist ideology for the sake of knowledge. Their discussions arose my curiosity. Maybe one day I will find something interesting in Bible.

How are you doing, sweetie?

Cool Weather, Hot Fair

The weather is getting cool; the warm noon is getting precious. The state fair is the last biggest event this year. After that and the NCAA football tournaments there won’t be any statewide events until next spring. Here is not like New York City where people can go shopping seasonal stuff in the streets during the winter.

Dead or Alive: Dimensions

While looking for research data, I found a game amusing enough to save my dying life. I’m not a big fan of fighting games. I was once addictive to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat for a while. Then came back to playing adventure and role-playing games. 

自由，民主與資本主義(二)

對民主的否定，經常來自於眼見其施行之後的亂象。有學者提出條件說，強調經濟和教育發展到某個程度後，民主制度才能成功。此處，本人則要以資源分配的觀點切入，論證何以民主會產生亂象。
