Mr. Lorne Gunter, because of you and many other “Lorne Gunters”, my poor 14-year-old Edmonton-raised kid has been politically polluted and holds the same view as you do about XiZang although he knows nothing about XiZang. For this particular, shame on myself, because I have given too much faith on you guys and I have failed to educate my kid properly.1 s3 C0 y2 H5 | U5 l6 a

F4 lFor all Mr. Lorne Gunters, it’s time you changed your arrogant attitudes; it’s time you apologized for the misleading public messages; it’s time you took the remedy and reclaimed your deep-root polluted faith; it’s time you ran a fair and unprejudiced Western Media; it’s time you regained the faith from the public including 1.4 billion Chinese people.

To correct my mistake on my kid’s education and to educate many “Lorne Gunters”, I have decided to take my kid to join the peaceful protest gathering for the truth of XiZang and the support of Beijing 2008 Olympics from 14:00 to 16:00 on April 5, 2008 at the Churchill Square, City Hall of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada# l2 }" Z4 C, e8 d! v6 [

Note 2: I suggest people who know the XiZang history use the Chinese official name “XiZang and XiZang people” rather than "Tibet and Tibetans" because the English word “ Tibet” came from the Marco Polo’s travel notes in the 13th century, which was not a official name of XiZang at that time;
