Born and raised in the deep south, I served during the Vietnam war in the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps. I was also involved in the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement after I left the Navy. Became involved in the anti-nuclear movement in the early 80s. There is an old, well-known Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." I cannot remember ever insulting or deeply offending a person of Chinese descent, to the point where he/she would curse me, but I must have. http://lanternbrigade.blogspot.com OpEdNews Member for 293 week(s) and 1 day(s) 0 Articles, 0 Quick Links, 88 Comments, 0 Diaries, 0 Polls |
