"God bless us every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all.

"Bah... Humbug!"
Actually I've noticed, going back to some very early threads, there were plenty of forum members who had posted a lot ...then disappeared. One avenue I would like to see more in the new year is more fun. There are times when I feel this forum, as much as I love it and it's regular members, akin to reading an encylopedia.
2012 has been my annus horribilis. So I hope Health and better fortune for the new year. I'd like to see past members return. Dito..Tiny Tim.

Christmas is not a holiday in the country that I live. Therefore, I'm likely going to play the role of Tiny Tim's father, working late on Christmas Eve. We need someone to write the Chinese equivalent of "A Christmas Carol" or "Oliver Twist" to emphasize the contemporary evils and indictment of 21st century industrialization under excessive capitalism hiding in the facade of socialism with Chinese characteristics. That person could also write "Hard Times" to emphasize that the pursuit of a "harmonious society" --which is utilitarianism in disguise-- could lead to great misery. Hey, I'm talking so much abstract stuff typical of the babble from the propaganda department of da Chinese Communist Party . . . . .
And with apologies to Charles Dickens . . . . . . . .

Dito..Tiny Tim. 2013 has been worse on a personal level and work-wise hasn't been much better, though I'm lucky to be in employment. So we'll see what 2014 has to bring....
