Universities Way Too Romantic?

This is really amusing. I think this professors thought too highly of themselves and too optimistic.

Even writers from Hong Kong complains about Chinese students in Hong Kong being watchdogs and pets of Chinese Communist Party. Can they learn something that is truely valuable from Hong Kong, I don't think so. And is Taiwan any different? No.

And let's take a look back of what Ma did in Harvard, shall we? He is a "professional" student paid by KMT to study in Harvard, but more importantly, to watch those TI supporters in the US. A lot of TI supporters are put into black list because of him. He also write article that supports KMT's dictatorship and was an editor of a pro-KMT magazine. Just reading some of the stuff he wrote and you realize he learn nothing from the US culutre. Of course he denies and avoid the topic now, but the evidences are very strong. Indeed, looking at his behavior and attitude you wonder if he actually learned anything in Harvard. Even now I wonder if his former teacher in Harvard, Mr. Cohan, is very disappointed (humm...kind of like Star Wars once again...turning to the dark side?! lol). He certainly voiced his concern on the justice system deteriation in Taiwan numerous times recently...but looks like his former student doesn't listen and instead falls even further to the dark side. haha...this quote from Star Wars just fit so well:
Ma: I've been waiting for you, Cohan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master.
Cohan: Only a master of evil, Ma.

So yea...I think those Universities just think too much, too idealistic and too ambitious. They should focus on producing more good leaders in various field for Taiwan FIRST before they daydream about producing presidents for another country.
