一朵浪花
信马由缰
D28区夜不眠。看到有人把“鸳鸯奶茶“的文章 （见附件）贴出，有很多是我同意的，有些是我不同意的。特逐一讨论如下：
1．“When we try to decide our vote，we need to ask ourselves a question: what are the most critical factors to be considered? Is it the skin color of a candidate? Is it the race background? Is it the personal relationship? Is it the party? Or ultimately, is it the CORE VALUE?”
估计作者的意思是CORE VALUE。只是作者没有给出定义，不知怎么操作和衡量取舍。希望作者能够展开讨论。我要说，既是CORE VALUE， 又有很重要的一条是为我们代言的人。
2．“I have seen a lot of arguments applying the skin color or the race background as the very SOUND REASON to decide one candidate over the other. Well, if these two things are that important, no wonder we have SCA5 on the table!”
SCA5 是因为加州教育资源紧缺，没有经费，人口增加，好学校的位置有限，因此Hernandez 开出了药方，按人口比例考虑入学位置分配。完全不是因为选择代言人的时候，有人考虑了“skin color”. 现实是，每个族裔都有或都希望有自己”skin color” 选择的代言人。
3. “I got worried if we, Chinese American group, limit ourselves in the "Chinese Politics" type of thinking.”“ 鸳鸯奶茶“ 没有给出“Chinese Politics”的定义。不好评论。但显见作者在这里是考虑“skin color” 的。
4．“In the past few months, the mainstream media has taken the freedom to "bad-mouth" us, as a small "selfish" group, who has been whining so loud to protect our own very "narrow-minded" interest.”
同意作者的观察。这也是我在数篇文章中希望大家走出悲情，走向社会，理解选民，了解问题，设法解决问题。而不是，一再高举SCA5的旗帜，再加上一面一切归共和党的口号，激情四射，不论对象，强加于人。作者有此识见，实为空谷足音，佩服佩服。希望作者就此继续展开。对我们华裔参政议政定然有积极正面的意义。
5．“we have also seen how easy the Dem party can just shut their own senates' mouths up”
这句话属于假设性推论。确实六位拉丁裔议员撤出了给ted 的endorsement. 首先，做为拉丁裔议员他们根据自己的 “skin color”决定不支持ted, 并不能够使ted闭嘴。只有当ted 失 去选民的支持时，他才无法继续他作为议员的职责。其次，做为议员，投票时，必须要考虑选民立场的。所以，议案来了，需要每个议员的各体投票。而不是两党报 自己议员的人头来决定。不和党的立场一致的投票过去有，将来会继续有。我们很多初次接触政治的人，以前从来没有投过票的人，对此有误解。完全可以理解。我 要说的是，那些政治专家，故意用这样的错误概念给我们洗脑。使我们做别人党派政治的工具而不自知。
6．“SCA5 cannot be stopped by just us”完全同意。记得前不久，有一个坚定的战友，写了篇激情澎湃的雄文，说“我们只有我们才是赢得SCA5的。。”（详文一时记不清楚了）。记得阿丹公写了篇文章其中第四点，意指， SCA5 的搁置有现任几位华裔民主党议员的功劳。大概我们这些坚定的战友火力全开，逼退了阿丹公从此消失江湖。作者今天能够有此认识，我还是很佩服的。
7．“SCA5 cannot be stopped unless we elect someone who has sufficient political wisdom to know how to get allies to make his/her belief fly high, .”
这句话把一个复杂的问题，过于简单化了。怎么样把将来的SCA类法案阻住，应该是一个很好的题目。希望见到作者的后续。也希望看到阿丹公的大作，七兄，一剑兄的力作。
“鸳鸯奶茶“ 的点睛之笔是：“sufficient political wisdom to know how to get allies to make his/her belief fly high”。这句话不错，但是什么是他的真实地“belief”？ 怎么样在资源紧缺的情况下，和谁结盟？怎么保证一碗水端平？怎么保证当选票重多的”allies”要牺牲我们利益时，他怎么做？
我只看到他上周开始公开的对反对SCA5 的”allies” barry 大肆攻击。实在无法 联想他会用“sufficient political wisdom”“ to get allies”来帮助我们。
我确实看到了他高超的手腕，把“鸳鸯奶茶“等化成了他的坚定先锋战士，为了他当选”fly high”. 但是难道这样坚定彻底的打击 barry 就是他的belief吗？他今天能够分化社团痛击barry,明天就能够保护我们的利益吗？
恐怕不是“想当然”可以决定的。需要相当的政治智慧才可以预测的。
这也就是为什么，大家要选自己人做代言人的原因了。这也是为什么，从统计学角度，每个人都希望养育自己的孩子原因。而不是用”skin color” 去预测别人的孩子好，帮助别人养。
8．“instead of fighting alone and lonely”。
这句话可以这样说，在危机关头，我们需要这种勇敢无畏的勇士。我们需要这样的战士，而不是又一个滑头的政客。同时，我们也需要更多这样的人被选进去。这也是我们今天努力的目标。

”星期六, 04/19/2014 - 21:09 — 鸳鸯奶茶What to Consider for Your Vote?
There have been a lot of discussions in many WeChat groups on whom to vote in D28. While I respect everyone's opinion and decision, I would like to share a bit of mine here.
When we try to decide our vote, we need to ask ourselves a question: what are the most critical factors to be considered? Is it the skin color of a candidate? Is it the race background? Is it the personal relationship? Is it the party? Or ultimately, is it the CORE VALUE?
I have seen a lot of arguments applying the skin color or the race background as the very SOUND REASON to decide one candidate over the other. Well, if these two things are that important, no wonder we have SCA5 on the table!
I got worried if we, Chinese American group, limit ourselves in the "Chinese Politics" type of thinking. In the past few months, the mainstream media has taken the freedom to "bad-mouth" us, as a small "selfish" group, who has been whining so loud to protect our own very "narrow-minded" interest. Moreover, we have also seen how easy the Dem party can just shut their own senates' mouths up.
SCA5 cannot be stopped by just us;
SCA5 cannot be stopped unless we get support from different racial groups who share the same CORE VALUE as us, the value that has inspired Americans for many many years: no discrimination to ANY, equal opportunity, fair competition, hard work reward, etc;
SCA5 cannot be stopped unless we elect someone who has sufficient political wisdom to know how to get allies to make his/her belief fly high, instead of fighting alone and lonely.
I cherish the opportunity to share my thoughts with all of you. “
