"The sun is shining We should be making hay
But we're dead from the waist down Like in Californ-i-a
Victory is empty There are lessons in defeat
But we're dead from the waist down We are sleeping on our feet
We stole the songs from birds in trees Bought us time on easy street
Now our paths, they never meet We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability
I caught a glimpse, and it's not me
Make hay not war Make hay not war
Make hay not war Or else we're done for
And we're d from the w down
There's no contracts binding No bad scene beyond repair
But when you're dead from the waist down You're too far gone to even care
We stole the songs from birds in trees Bought us time on easy street
Now our paths, they never meet We chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability
I caught a glimpse, and it's not me
Make hay not war Make hay not war
Make hay not war Or else we're done for
And we're d from the w down
The sun is shinging..." ~ By Catatonia, "Dead From The Waist Down", from the album "Equally Cursed and Blessed" (1999 Warner Music)

[The Longest Days ... ...]
歷史上,人們稱1944年6月6日 諾曼地登陸之日為"the Longest Day"
而對於近日所發生之事,或是未來數日/數月 寡人認為這亦算是地球或本港之"the Longest Days"
先說 幾千里外之地上 戰爭已開始了不下一星期 (在其他港人 望聞身變 之地, 戰爭或衝突更是長久以來未有停過 ... ) 對於在戰地上的平民,在戰地上作戰的軍士 還有 他們在家鄉的親屬, 這些日子都是他們的 the longest days
今天, Josi在discussion session 中與我們組分享了 Catatonia的 "Dead From The Waist Down"一曲
(寡人也將此曲之歌詞張貼在campus之大字報那"綠牆"上,與Michael Moore日前的oscar得獎致詞放在一起) 可是,不經Josi解說,寡人都真的不知原來此曲盡是弘外之音, metaphor處處 ... 亦道出了花旗國那不足為外人道的一面 ~ 原來對少數族裔而言 ~ 生活在花旗國都可以是他們的 "the longest days"
may god bless the sufferers of atypical pneumonia? and of course, for the rest of us!

[正名]
"非典型肺炎"已正名為"冠病毒肺炎"
之不過我地阿董生認真巴閉 ... 他可以將'virus' "正名"為 'various' ; 將'林煥光' "正名"為'林煥廣' ;而 "非典型" 依然係 "非典型" .. ... .
另一方面, BBC 終於將花旗國稱之為"war on iraq"的issue 由"conflict on Iraq"正名為"war on Iraq"
but may I rename "war on terrorism" to "war of oil&monetary"?
may Jack Bratlet (the fictitious President of United States" renamed as the real President of United States?

It's a COINSPIRACY!
