How do you know what I think? :-)

I will endeavour to read his writings, though I doubt 
our library has them. However, I don't have high esteem
of those overseas Viet writers who cram commie hats on
their fellow writers, no matter else they write. One such

he got his due and ended up with a handful of hats himself
