Ancient Maps spark debate between China and Philippines over South China Sea islands

The Chinese government claims ninety percent of the South China Sea, including the Spratly Islands, an archipelago of 750 islands and reefs nearer the Philippines. However, a series of ancient maps have drawn this claim into question. The government of the Philippines says Beijing is overreaching in claiming territory so far south of the island of Hainan, which historical maps show to be southernmost China, far north of the Spratly archipelago.

Letter from Vietnam veteran to NGO Room to Read, about taking money from Monsanto

1 Comment

Attached file contains both English and Vietnamese translations. CS

Paul Cox is a fellow Vietnam vet, member of the San Francisco chapter of Veterans For Peace, a deeply concerned American who has been very active in seeking justice for American veterans and Vietnamese who have had their lives ravaged by the consequences of Agent Orange. The toxic chemical which has poisoned millions was made by Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and other American companies which are now trying to gain a foothold in Vietnam again. Monsanto has offered “agricultural scholarships” to Vietnamese students in a thinly disguised promotion of their GMO (genetically mutated) seeds in Vietnam. Paul’s letter, below, to the organization Room to Read, should be thoughtfully considered by all veterans and their families, every concerned citizen in America and Vietnam, and government leaders in both countries.

My little friend – Rocky

2 Comments

My little friend, 11-year old dog, Rocky – named after the dog of Tottochan – a Japanese story written by Tetsuko. With a close childhood friend of mine, we booth named our dogs as such Rocky.  Rocky, however, is not any rocky-like as appeared is his name.

Rocky is strongly attached to only my family members. He is even a bit shy towards “stranger” guests visiting our house. He never hurts anyone. Rocky can only scare people enough by his German-shepherd looking and by his loud barking. He likes playing and sniffing around kids or babies rather than adults. So does he like puppies and smaller dogs. Continue reading My little friend – Rocky →
