[cairsocal]

wow, that was an awesome reading. it would be cool to have had Sandra, but i liked muboko's fine touch, it added alot to the event.

Great reading, great message. Things like this shouldn't happen again in history.

Ms. Sandra Oh, will you please read a testimony of Comfort Women survivors too? That devastating story deserves more attention that what it's getting now.

It's too true and so sad. A friend of mine, her family lost everything after Pearl Harbor. Her father owned a general store. they owned their own home and the land it sat on. After they were released did they get these things back? No. You would hope we've progressed...but look at what happened after 9/11 to people of middle eastern descent.

"They" do really only teach what they want us to know.

i was once a fan of Sandra Oh. But no longer. The fact that Sandra No would promote the works of a complete JERK like Yuri Kochiyama tells me enough about Sandra Doh that i will never patronize any entertaiment vehicle which she may be a part of again. Sandra......you lost all my respect. You're nothing but a leftie Asian Pryde dufus who takes up fashionable causes.

@umhalil Hunter S Thompson? Interesting.

[MultiSmartass1]

@umhalil I'm intrigued. Do you know the person and the ttile of the project they were working on?

[MultiSmartass1]

@umhalil Very true. Its a shame Howard Zinn died because he might have written or could have edited a book that needs to be written: THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.

[MultiSmartass1]

@umhalil In smaller numbers.

Actually, the Germans and Italians primarily were POWs and they were in reeducation camps in certain parts of the US.

They certainly got reeducated but it wouldn't be the kind of learning that anyone would want.
