Perhaps you should expand your horizons a little bit and learn that chinese people don't just live in communist China. I'm sure that the chinese people in the good old USA also celebrate their new year. People living in countries like Singapore, Malaysia and several other south-east asian countries probably also celebrate the chinese new year. In fact, the people of chinese origin in my tiny home country, Mauritius, also celebrate the chinese new year. So, get your facts right before applying labels to people. That just reminds me labelling people is also a characteristic of fascists. I think DJ posted a message a few days ago requesting a certain level of politeness and moderation of language on this forum. Maybe, you should bear that in mind, unless of course, in your quest for free speech you deem yourself to be above such newgroups etiquette. By the way, maybe you should also reconsider calling yourself a 'humanist' unless the word has changed meaning.
