Racism
So can someone explain to me, in the light of how our ancestors had been treated, the proliferation of SPGs in Singapore?
On July 17, the California legislature quietly approved a landmark bill to apologize to the state's Chinese-American community for racist laws enacted as far back as the mid–19th century Gold Rush, which attracted about 25,000 Chinese from 1849 to 1852. The laws, some of which were not repealed until the 1940s, barred Chinese from owning land or property, marrying whites, working in the public sector and testifying against whites in court. The new bill also recognizes the contributions Chinese immigrants have made to the state, particularly their work on the Transcontinental Railroad.

Goodbye 308
YC tells me that it's been a while since I'd posted. There's so much that happened between my last post and now, and most of which I can't really share, at least not in this medium. I'll make an effort to post a little more in the future; just thoughts and silly things. In the meantime, this is a post from one of my favourite blogs, the owner of an ice cream shop in Ireland.
"I heard some sad news from Colm, the farmer who delivers us our Kerry Cow Milk, and that is that one of his Kerry cows, the one in the photo above, has died suddenly a week after giving birth. She was known as 308, not the prettiest name, perhaps, but she was a pretty cow, and I had many photos of her. It's easy to forget, when there's milk coming in, that there are animals behind it all, and so today I'll lift a cone
to the memory of the pretty 308."
Yes, it's easy to forget, when times are good, that getting to where we are isn't the single act of one person. It is the combined effort of a galaxy of people who love us.
