christian belief. who is your lord and savior that cannot bear the

just to speak of laos, if laos was governed as a truly democratic,
republic state, we'd probably have a hmong prime minister, hmong
president representing the great country of laos. of course, no hmong
king; that's forbidden fruit.

it's okay, we reached a prosperous land now. we are scattered across
the USA. how many cities are there in california alone where a
substantial hmong population lives? how many of these hmong
communities want to have their own celebration? i think hmong in
fresno want to go eat 30 and see how hmong in sacto lives, and vice-
versa. we have the time, money, and transportation now. every year i
go, i don't see any decay of hmong culture, i see + hear + taste +

on one hand, they want 'influence' from the top, on the other hand,
the top's influence is shaky at best and they call it dictatorship.
'they' need to make up their minds, as much as they earned their way.
remember, teev said those who followed hmong 18 xeem's curb of wedding

if he don't. but, i think, in this case, damn thee for damning while
thou did not.
