Thoughts about health: Human weakness of greed!

Health is the concern of all folks: Swine Flu Pandemic as declared by WHO.

Chinese would avoid infection with classical greeting style to convey respect and esteem:

Palm and fingers of one hand wrapped around the fist of the other, both hands shaking up and down to exercise for good health. It is easy to do with fun. Try such ways to maintain good health without contacting germs from others.(sic) However, it is known that leaving the mundane world is a natural reality but to have faith,hope and love apropos of the immortality of the soul.

PEI is now in California for a teaching position? Cf. "Foreign Policy" articles by Pei in July/August issue and a letter to the Editor in September/October 2009 issue for reference.

Pei Min-xin, a professor of politics for anarchy? Such is a joke without reason!

Pei stated that corruption is the glue that keeps the party stuck together. Getting rid of it is not possible as long as they keep this system.

Query with comment: Is the system doing OK? What is the international status of that system as assessed by the United Nations for its achievement to overcome poverty? Is Confucius an advocate of ethics and morality? Is the system interested in teaching Confucianism in other nations? Adam Smith was a professor of moral philosophy and economics. It is known that there are corruptions in other nations as well. Would Pei advocate the destruction of such human frailty in other nations? As long as some folks in some nations misbehave with greed, there are corruptions as per the headlines in the media. That is not untrue!
