召集志愿者，共同绘制一张中国选区图

2011-02-15T20:44:00.001-08:00

别问我做这个事情的目的，纯粹好玩，研究行政地图来着。

有没有报酬？没有报酬

需要做的事情：打电话给你所在居住地的人大选举办公室，问清楚你所在基层选区的范围，并在google地图上用我们事先约定好的颜色标注出来。

下图为举例说明：

希望哪位做平面设计的朋友帮我一个提供配色方案，用于标示各省的颜色

如何开始？

希望加入的朋友请在我的profile页面上给我send message，告诉我你所在的省，我会把你的邮件设为collaborator，并告诉你需要使用的颜色。

媒体、维基解密和政府

2010-11-29T00:19:00.001-08:00

刚才看了看纽约时报和卫报在发表绝密外交文件时作的读者说明，有点意思。一感叹政府和媒体的制衡，二感叹媒体的法律意识，有些章节感觉像是出自律师之手。

其他法、德、西三家的谁来补充补充吧

这篇是纽约时报的

A Note to Readers: The Decision to Publish Diplomatic Documents

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/29/world/29editornote.html?pagewanted=print

其中提到了事情的处理经过

“ After its own redactions, The Times sent Obama administration officials the cables it planned to post and invited them to challenge publication of any information that, in the official view, would harm the national interest. After reviewing the cables, the officials — while making clear they condemn the publication of secret material — suggested additional redactions. The Times agreed to some, but not all. The Times is forwarding the administration’s concerns to other news organizations and, at the suggestion of the State Department, to WikiLeaks itself. In all, The Times plans to post on its Web site the text of about 100 cables — some edited, some in full — that illuminate aspects of American foreign policy.”

说他们在发表前先把将要发表的内容发给了白宫的相关官员，请他们就他们认为任何可能有损美国国家利益的内容的发表提出不同意见。相关官员在看过之后，另外提出了一些编辑要求，同时也对发表绝密文件一事进行了谴责。报方采纳了一些编辑要求，但没有全部采纳。报方还向其他媒体转达了政府所关心的问题，另外按照国务部的建议，还转达给了WikiLeaks。纽约时报计划在网站上公布约100份文件-有些经编辑，有些全文刊载。

Editors try to balance the value of the material to public understanding against potential dangers to the national interest.

编辑们会努力平衡公众获得信息的权利与潜在的对国家利益危害。

On the other hand, we are less likely to censor candid remarks simply because they might cause a diplomatic controversy or embarrass officials.

对于一些可能会招致外交风波或者让官员蒙羞的直率言辞，我们不会进行审查。

Of course, most of these documents will be made public regardless of what The Times decides. WikiLeaks has shared the entire archive of secret cables with at least four European publications, has promised country-specific documents to many other news outlets, and has said it plans to ultimately post its trove online. For The Times to ignore this material would be to deny its own readers the careful reporting and thoughtful analysis they expect when this kind of information becomes public.

大意是：就算我们不发表别人也会陆续发表的。纽约时报要是不发表那就是当这类信息被公诸于众时，拒绝为自己的读者做深入的报道及分析。

But the more important reason to publish these articles is that the cables tell the unvarnished story of how the government makes its biggest decisions, the decisions that cost the country most heavily in lives and money. They shed light on the motivations — and, in some cases, duplicity — of allies on the receiving end of American courtship and foreign aid. They illuminate the diplomacy surrounding two current wars and several countries, like Pakistan and Yemen, where American military involvement is growing. As daunting as it is to publish such material over official objections, it would be presumptuous to conclude that Americans have no right to know what is being done in their name.

更重要的理由是，这些文件真实反映了政府是如何做重大决策的，这些决策事关这个国家在人力和金钱上的巨大投入。文件还透露了一些美国盟友在接受美国资助时的真正动机或暴露出来的表里不一。在政府的反对下发表这些内容是项很艰巨的任务，但认为认为美国人民没有权利知道以他们之名所行的事情是很自以为是的。

这篇是卫报的

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/editors-note-wikileaks-embassy-cables

大致意思差不多，摘录几句有意思的.

There are some cables the Guardian will not be releasing or reporting owing to the nature of sourcing or subject matter. Our domestic libel laws impose a special burden on British publishers.

鉴于信息来源的性质以及话题的性质，有些文件卫报不会发表或做报道。英国的诽谤法对于英国媒体的要求甚为苛刻。

All the publications involved have given early warning to the US government of our intention to publish. Government officials, who are aware of the general subjects we intend to cover, have not disputed the authenticity of the overall material. They have flagged up some specific, and some general, concerns.

事先也给过美国政府预警。美国政府官员清楚我们所要发表的话题，他们并没有质疑所报道材料的真实性。他们提出了些一些具体的，以及一些笼统的要求。

Silvio Berlusconi was "feckless, vain, and ineffective as a modern European leader"

2010-11-28T18:55:00.001-08:00

在维基解密的文件中美国驻罗马大使对于贝鲁斯科尼的描述是 feckless, vain, and ineffective，大家觉得这个中文该如何翻译？我查了一下字典，貌似三个字是同义词，她是为了强调老贝是个无用的领导，还是三个词各有所指？或者应该翻译成为 "毫无责任心、空虚、无用" ？

Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was "feckless, vain, and ineffective as a modern European leader", according to Elizabeth Dibble, US charge d'affaires in Rome. Another report from Rome recorded the view that he was a "physically and politically weak" leader whose "frequent late nights and penchant for partying hard mean he does not get sufficient rest"

A freedom and democracy we can buy

2010-11-23T06:35:00.001-08:00

I walked around the charred building this afternoon to fulfill a citizen's obligation-show my concern and support.

Police presence, if not count in plain clothes, is less than I expected. How can things go out of control while there is no opposition force and the dictators are equipped with high precision dynamos? Yes they can control the emotion of a billion people, but they cannot control the sparkle from a welder, and a cumbersome bureaucracy.

Ten minutes walk from the site, there are vendors of chrysanthemum flowers, the nearer, the more of them. The street is still covered with flowers, each bundle of flower a non-confidence vote to a government, I perceive.

I will thank all the brave and sometime brazen vendors who made this democracy market, where people can buy a vote. And I will also praise the highly professional Shanghai policemen who kept this market in order. And I also hope on Dec 10th there will be a market of yellow ribbon for another great cause.

Isn't it the case that we used to spend too little on justice and democracy? Or the resources we should have used on a righteous society has been robbed by the Party thugs?

But Shanghai can afford the democracy, even though some lawyers and judges are brave, some brazen, but we need this bigger democracy market.

Can we buy out the Party thugs or they buy us out?

Unfortunately as many displacement cases showed, if we are to be buyed out, most probably we are burn out.

是的，但是现在土共的情况是极端集权，连上海这种有钱人（照道理有钱就该有民权）的地方也根本喘不过气来。

但土共只是貌似强大，其实浑身的穴道已经都被点到了，说不定哪一天就灰飞烟灭，大混乱对我们更为不利。

South Park--My daddy is Li Gang

2010-11-14T08:46:00.001-08:00

South Park--My daddy is Li Gang

Suppose Kenny was walking on the pedestrian and was hit to death by a vehicle, the driver was a FAG and was high and also happened to be Dick Cheney's son in law. That FAG killed Kenny as if nothing happened and raised his middle finger to other kids and yelled " My daddy is Li Gang!"

Suppose Dick Cheney had been in bed with principal Victoria, so that principal Victoria ordered Cartman, Kyle and Stan who witnessed the car accident not to give evidence in court.

Suppose the FAG appeared on Winfrey Ophra and played remorse while Kenny's mother was denied her opportunity to meet any press.

Suppose Gerald Broflovski take the case for the McCormick family and received a death threat from Dick Cheney.

Suppose Cartman, Kyle and Stan are now discussing about how to bring justice back, Cartman suggest a rally, Stan suggest a petition letter to the most powerful man in the world: Hujintao, and Kyle suggest send Dick Cheney anthrax.

Which of the scenario above is comprehensible to a people in Western society?

A by-election with Chinese characteristics

2010-11-11T18:41:00.001-08:00

There will be a by-election for Pudong No.124 constituency, my constituency, on November 19, 2010.

I will never know this information haven't I been asked by a friend yesterday to find the complain telephone number for the local government's lack of sincerity to address a notorious polluting air emission in midnight.

The government notice was published on Oct, 29th (http://www.tangzhen.gov.cn/index.php?id=3296) but as a permanent resident in this constituency I knew nothing about this by-election until yesterday. So I wrote a letter to the Shanghai People's Congress http://wjapp.spcsc.sh.cn:8090/nis/ldxx/web/ldxx_xf.jsp to express my concerns about my constitutional right. No one comes back to me till now.

This morning I called the election office to request a form to nominate our candidate ( According to the by-election regulation http://www.shanghai.gov.cn/shanghai/node2314/node3124/node3125/node3130/userobject6ai1773.html , article sixteen, ten registered voter can jointly nominate a candidate to run for the seat ) , and was told by the chairman of local people's representatives there is no such thing as nomination by voters in this by election, all the candidates are designated, and today is the deadline to have the final list on the ballot.

Isn't it an outright breach of law?

More black people jailed in England and Wales proportionally than in US

Ask buzz:

How do you understand this sentence at the first glance?

"More black people jailed in England and Wales proportionally than in US."

1, Ratio of number of balck people jailed in England and Wales to the total number of inmates is higher than that figure in US.

2, Ratio of number of balck people jailed in England and Wales to the whole population is higher than that figure in US.

3, Ratio of number of balck people jailed in England and Wales to the whole balck population is higher than that figure in US.

4, Ratio of black inmates percentage to the black popoulation percentage is higher than that figure in US.

Call for inquiry and review of the Jiangxi Yihuang tragedy

2010-09-18T21:32:00.001-07:00

Facts are all out there, but there are so many questions need to be asked, and a policy review should be undertaken concerning the governance of local authority and the relationship between central and local government.

Questions:

1, What is the first resort of local authority to resolve such displacement dispute and other disputes with civilians, by coercive and harassing force from the executive branch or by legal procedure?

2, In this case, has any side, the family who refused to move or the executive branch who want to carry on their project, brought it to the court?

3, Why was the deputy county chief in charge on site? Is it because the under officials are incapable to deal with issue of such magnitude; or because it is required by party rule that such level of official should on site; or because that guy cannot manage his subordinates and don't trust his subordinate to handle this issue properly?

4, The airport toilet siege episode happened after the case is under national media spotlight and was broad-casted by social media, has the county chief ever considered whether he is the right person to be in charge on site? Has he considered about the consequences of such unconstitutional violation or he just had no choice? Is there any zero tolerance party regulation that chief will be sacked if petitioner arrived Beijing?

5, The corpse seizing episode is totally incomprehensible by a reasonable mind, will the corpse has any magnificent ramification for the whole case? And the party chief is in charge on site! Is it that CCP members have a higher proportion of necrophilia?

6, Is there any corruption involved in the case?

7, Who is the police chief and who is the president of the court? How did they going along with the three officials who have been sacked?

8, According to the published sacking list, it is a massive change for the whole local authority, concerning the speed of the decision, is it a prepared list?

9, After millions if not hundreds of millions of people saw a emotional picture showing a frightened and fragile beautiful girl deported by a government task force team, she was screaming for help in the picture behind a sealed bus window, just as a Jewish on a Nazi train, will head of the state announce whether or not he is prepared to honor and defend the constitution, and call for prosecuting the person who is in charge?

10, Will the head of the government apologize for the wrongdoing of his government, and make a thorough review of the management and control of his government?

When will America outsource its campaigns?

2010-07-27T19:12:00.001-07:00

President Obama concerns about the influence from foreign governments or companies after Citizen United. But he seems forget the influence from foreign people.

With internet, people around the world are influencing each other, I can still remember my American friends asked me in 2008 about who do I think is a better candidate, the answer is obvious at that time, there was an Obama fad worldwide. I don't know how in the end such people to people communication will affect my friends decision in the ballot station, let's just imagine a young American who has facebook friends from Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East, and they all prefer one candidate, how will he/she feel?

However, internet can be the most powerful tool to distort the political process, especially when it is under control by undemocratic government, or provided by maga-company such as google or facebook.

I guess in the next campaign, some of the internet campaign effort will be outsourced to countries such as India or even China.
