tsujsua,
this is "worst" than World Hmong People's Congress
http://whpc.info/
and Congress of World Hmong People
http://www.cwhp.us/.
at least WHPC and CWHP were "creative" enough to swap the words around
so we wouldn't get confused with identical names.
now, we have these 2 HND, Inc. could we designate the first HND,Inc,
as HND0 and the second HND,Inc, as HND1? or is it better to start
indexing them from 1? i.e. HND1 and HND2?
i think i've almost seen it all. first hmong and mong. then mhong. <-
notice deletion and switching of letters
then WHPC and CWHP. <- notice switching of letters; putting the C in
the front or back.
now, we our brilliant hmong minds have outdone ourselves with HND,Inc.
<- notice, EXACT replica...
peb hmoob mas keej kawg li lawm nawb. hmong, mong, mhong are not the
same, but all have a right to co-exist. WHPC and CWHP are not the
same, but have the right to co-exist. HND,Inc and HND,Inc are not the
same, but both have the "legal" right to co-exist.
what's next? instead of moj them nqa kab is it going to be moj them
nqa phom? tso dag xwb, xob chim nawb mog.
at least Hmong-Lao was creative enough to say there was zhen and Zhen.
i unno.
