My comment: It is about "work" computers. An employer can do whatever they
want with his properties.

Ron Paul

Quote:
"When President Gerald Ford appointed Representative [Robert R] Casey to
head the Federal Maritime Commission, Paul won an April 1976 special
election to fill the empty seat. Paul lost some months later in the general
election, to Democrat Robert Gammage, by fewer than 300 votes (0.2%), but
defeated Gammage in a 1978 rematch, and was reelected in 1980 and 1982.
"In 1984, Paul chose to run for the U.S. Senate instead of re-election to
the House, but lost the Republican primary to Phil Gramm. He returned to
full-time medical practice and was succeeded by former state representative
Tom DeLay.
"In 1996, Paul was re-elected to Congress

(e) The report stated, "For years, Mr. Paul would talk about their ideas and
eyes would glaze over."
(i) glaze (vt vi; Middle English glasen, from glas glass)

with comments like his praise for WikiLeaks."

发帖数: 6973 | 3 I do not know about him, Mr. Ron Paul.
But I am saddened by what happens in Taiwan. See
台湾资深记者辞职，力谏改革新闻媒体http://mitbbs.com/article_t0/ChinaNews/32256557.html
(1) What the outgoing Taiwanese reporter said is shocking, for me who has
been in US for a long time and taken a clean press for granted.
(2) The reporter named former president Chen Shui-bian also, who is my idol.
I simply can not comprehend why politicians want to buy media. Isn't word
of mouth worth more?

and governments.
Still, there is a hope.
Mr. 黄哲斌 can open his own blog/twitter/facebook account and start really
fight for what he believes in.
