Believe it or not, in America
           Government officials are our public servants.
Therefore, we, the citizens, have the right to "hire or fire" them. That
is what our elections are mainly about.

   However, many Asian Americans subconsciously think of
                  government officials as their parents,
owing to the Confucian philosophy that is popular in East Asia. Confucius'
humanitarian views are very wise, but he didn't know about democracy,
American style. That part of the Confucian ethnic has caused our
community great political harm.

   Want to check out our conjecture? Take the following fun quiz.

   A FUN QUIZ:      Does your "average" Asian Am. friend

1) ask for accountability from government officials?
2) ask for deeds instead of sweet words from government officials?
3) highly value a photo with a high ranking government official?
4) buy tickets to a fundraiser for an official, simply because a friend is
   pushing tickets, without asking for that official's record of service to our
   community?
5) get somewhat turned off by 80-20 which advocates to "reward or
   punish" government officials?
6 ) think it may be illegal for 80-20 to advocate a bloc vote against an
   official or a presidential candidate?

   If your answer are
1) No,
2) No,
3) Yes,
4) Yes,
5) Yes, and
6) Yes,
think how ridiculous your "average" Asian Am. friend's behavioral pattern
actually is when you replace the words "government officials" in the above
6 questions with "public servants?"

   Remember please: GOVERNENT OFFICIALS ARE OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS. We ask
for deeds and accountability from them. We need to apply "carrots and sticks" to
induce them to perform.
