This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Universally, Western leaders profess their belief in freedom and democracy. As a person who grew up in a closed China, I still am not capable of fully comprehending and appreciating that particular belief.
In addition, what are the differences between freedom and liberty?
The other day, the Canadian Air Force deployed 6 McDonnell Douglas CF-18 fighter jets overseas for the Libya issue. More than 120 Air Force personnels were embarked for the mission.

I had never thought before that a fighter jet, whose crew is only 1 or 2 persons, needs to be equipped with more than 20 soldiers for its mission.
