Hi jane, thank you for your extensive comment, and good luck with your myspace site.

My blog post on “napalm girl” Kim Phuc is here.

The Vietnamese really hate the war and still persisting consequences of it, like children still being born deformed today because of Agent Orange then. However, usually they certainly do not hate the American people as a whole.

See, eg, this, about a Vietnamse woman doctor’s diary.

And this.

Though I sometimes do write about “things that hurt” rather than avoiding them, I write on a big range of subjects.

On Anne Frank on this blog, eg, here. You can use “search” on this blog to find more.

dear kitty, in searching for “the napalm girl” photograph, i came upon yr blog. I am a fifty three year old woman, so i was in high school when that photograph was taken and it became a symbol just as viet nam hoped. however, while vietnam hoped it would become a symbol to hate americans, instead it became a symbol of peace. i just heard that girl, now grown into a woman talk about forgiveness on the radio and i wept, just as i wept seeing a photo of her as a mother holding a beautiful baby, her shoulders and arms scarred and her face a flower of love. being led to yr blog made me read more of yr work. i knew before i started reading where ‘dearkitty’ came from. i read that book, the diary of anne frank, when i was in elementary school. i love yr blog even when you write about things that hurt. i have a similar blog on myspace under redbudjane. thank you for sharing yrself with the world. jane

Hi Cindy W. thank you very much for this fine reaction, and all my best wishes to you! According to my statistics, about 50% of the visitors of this blog are from the USA, and quite some of them write valuable comments here.

I like the blog, like the name. Yes! to the dockworkers strike! I am a Midwest US hospital transcriptionist tired of all the victories of the rich and powerful, tired of reading about hedge fund managers having $55K “party” weekends while people like me have $10K hospital bills, at risk of losing job and having to move out of house, barely making it by despite graduate education (and professional in husband’s case) - tired of this same drama in the US of First World/developing world even within the US (and we always have enough to eat! unlike some neighbors). Thanks, Kitty!

Hi homeyra, thanks very much for your comment! And for adding me to your blogroll. I will add you to my blogroll (the problem is I have not yet figured out how, in Blogsome, to divide the blogroll into visible sections, making it not look chaotic. As soon as I will find out, I will make a much longer blogroll than now, including you).

Hi Emily, your link is not working.

Though discussion of Microsoft Windows is off topic here: on the one hand, in Dutch it is spelled Micro$choft; Micro-crook.

On the other hand, many people do not use alternative software as it would take time to learn how that works.
