	My reply begins here:

Dear Bro' John Morton:
	Thanks for your long comments. I must say what you have reply me in
such accusational manner is a very misleading one on my works. And what you 
have read my mind based on my reply to Mr. K. Kay is totally wrong. Your reply 
is based on deeply rooted narrow mind and one eye-sided veiw.  I have never
sugested that I support what you called "Burmese fascist dictatorships." I want
to suggest that please don't make such sneaking attack on any other freedom
fighters because it is suggesting to walk  on narrow "Road to Freedom in
Burma." Moreover, it is the most dangerous idea to be an extremist in this
modern world in which we should not hold an extremist view on anything. If we
are subjected to be that way, all Burmese have to kill English and Japanese as
a revenge to English and Japanese fascist actions during WWII and during
English colonial times in Burma: All native Indians have to kill all European 
whites settled in North America as a revenge to Europeans' brutal hunting 
against native-Indians in America so on and so forth around on this planet.

	The reason why I replied to Mr. K. Kay is because I thought Mr. Kay is
suggesting that 1967 Burmese-Chinese riot is relevant to 33rd Anniv. of July 
7th. Second, I pointed that "not everything" that BSPP and SLORC did is wrong
because it it "true" in some sense. Third, "certain things" should be respects
is because it is also "true" in some sense. I have optimistic rahter than
pessimistic view on my enemy.  More importantly, I hate lies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
	If I am such kind of man, I will not..... you need to learn more about
me. (I zap here on behalf of my living parents, brothers, sisters and relatives
who are taking the cause of me under brutal oppressive military regime- SLORC
in Burma).
	I won't make any reply on the following passages because I don't want 
to waste my time since everyone understands it. If you want to hear much more 
clarification from me, please continue reading this net. I will occasionally 
contribute my thoughts, my feelings, and my doings in this net.
	I deeply thank you. Finally, I would like to conclude the whole cause of
this topic by suggesting that you should change your way of teaching methods, 
especially teaching "HISTORY" which can be taught as a subject to change the 
future or as a subject to go back to the past. 
	Brotherly yours,
	Tun Myint.
