    Thanks for a great 48 minutes. When you touched on China it made me remember back almost 15 years ago to the day. I had just returned from my first trip to China. (we were in Wuhan on St.Patrick’s Day 2005 !) I wrote in to your radio show and you actually read my e-mail on the air in which I said ‘How much better are the Chinese people than is their government.’  I had been a Chinese linguist in the USAF and had been told I would never be allowed to go to China but I took a chance, applied for a Visa and was never prevented from going—I’ve been there a # of times since.

    Now, I can say that the people of Hong Kong may be my favorite people on the planet. When I was there at the time of the Umbrella Revolution 2013-14 I first heard small groups singing from Les Mis…”Can you hear the people sing, singing the songs of angry men...’ but no one believed me then….in last summer’s CRY FOR FREEDOM that song finally got MSM mention…Now they believe me.

    Great people. Great cause…they greatly need our support!

    Agree Dr. Guido. Remember it is the Chinese Communist Party, not China, that we blame for this. By the way, are you as good looking as Cary Grant or ???
