FALLACY LESSONS FOR UNEDUCATED PERSON *Appeal

| Replied 05-17-99 Did you read Vietnamese war stories written by who? Americans?
Communists? Forget all of that! It was a bias at best or a lie at worst based
on facts, both American and Vietnamese communists. Look at the present
please. I think you should go to Vietnam and live there to experience the
reality. Pain must be experienced, not by reading nor listening. Americans always expect any army on the world to be defeated as they did in Vietnam. A loser, especially a very proud loser, always expects the others to do the same. Do you know "Americans believe that they understand Vietnamese better than Vietnamese understand Vietnamese?". They are all your teachers. All you learn about Vietnam is from Americans?. You should understand what "a filter" means. Take a course in television please. Yet, do not easily believe in anything the others teach you. The true history cannot reveal in just 50 years unless no winners nor losers. Forget about your dream of national hero and do not impose such words on us. All of true Vietnamese bear a duty with their country and next generations. They hate any reward and hate to be put on a pedestal. You should respect to your parents and have a kid to understand what the duty means. Do not imitate Ho Chi Minh.. You said I must see myself? Thanks, I saw myself enough in Communist labor camp for 8 years and shared enough pain with other Vietnamese in Vietnam before and after that. You should see yourself by seeing the others. I see you copy all of the words in history books but nothing from your own thought. You seem to be a dictionary rather than a human being. I believe that you cannot pass a critical thinking class? You avoid any philosophy class, art, and humanity? I cannot open your eyes nor your mind. I think it may be helpful for you to read this poem: "...No man can reveal to you all but that which already lies half asleep
in the dawning of your knowledge. Also, I need to imitate you to copy some words from an American lady to warn you: "We have losts of psychologists but continue to run enormously high rates of mental illness. We have sociologists galore but the social fabric continues to disintegrate at an alarming rate. We do not lack for historians, yet our national policies do not even take the next generation into consideration....Having said that the academy offers a great deal of knowledge, but little wisdom, I will nevertheless point out to you ways in which you can use your undergraduate years to enhance that very experiential form of knowledge which we call wisdom..." Inge Bell. "This Book Is Not Required" Read South Vietnamese books in Santa Ana and Westminster libraries to understand the South. Study World History to open your mind. More in the library. Do not see yourself but see Communist's Victims. tmp@lich-mc.com Why didn't the Vietnamese Government kill you?
