Dear William
Nice reading your short article on dream bear versus the wolf. Below is my wild guess of what is happening:
1. There is no real democracy in the world. It is only two party to choose from, the replubican versus the democrat, the right and left or the old rich against the less rich using people power to replace the establishment.
2. The party elected their own presidential candidate, when elected, they appointed their own cabinet, subject to congress approval.
3. In hk, cy has to get the support of the second tier tycoon, second tier local communist member, the leftist in china, communist youth league, Wen and Hu, together with tung with western help to use apple daily, oriental newspaper, etc for an arab spring, people power strategy to get elected.
4. Consequently, cy has to replace the old establishment, in business, government etc with its own supporter. Pay back time.
5. In china, in 2012, the old establishment, using politic, foreign territories dispute, motivate it military base to consolidate military power to legitimize and control its power for domestic purpose.
6. The arab spring fail, and the princeling and military seize power doing its house cleaning with anti corruption tactic which cause the mass exodus recently.
7. So, what will happen to cy and hk?
8. Dream bear voice his attack through Isun weekly magazine, a military propaganda mouthpiece, it is in the process of replacing the revolutionist.
9. To hk, it is just the so call republican winning back their seat and control for the near future, it make no difference to us ordinary citizen.
10. In five years, hk might become the biggest financial centre, replacing wall street, usa is back in asia for business, market and trade, usa , Europe and japan all printing money and devalue the currency to sell and do business in asia.
11. Hk is our home, we just withness a so call election process, hk style. It was fun.

Dr Woo : all are human nature and history rotating around a time axis and locations, disguised under different costumes and roles. We as spectators just sit back and enjoy the show, add some color and carry on the boring life as usual till the end.

Dr Choy : william is correct on both counts concerning the recent saga between lew mon hung and cy leung. I just want to add something to his discourse on Kennedy/ nixon election back in the sixties. Not only did jfk win by a narrow margin. in fact papa joe k rig the polls in illinois by bribiing the mob , organised labour and teamster to acquire the necessary votes Later when jfk went against the mafia through his bro robert K, the newly appointed attorney general, the wise guys were seriously pissed and took part in the plot in assasinating JFK.
A juicy tid-bit -- Marylin Monroe slept with both JFK and Sam 'momo' Giacana the chicago mob boss. As the old adage goes. vagina and politics are two of the dirtiest things on earth but men just cannot get enough of them.
