I am fine with whatever oath Long Hair takes, so long as it is according to his conscience. Long Hair shouldn't drag on over this. Just pass the ball to the Tung's government, the Chinese officials, octogenarian fiends like Tsang Hin Tze and lackeys like DAB etc. Long Hair’s job is to expose the hegemonic nature, stupidity, unreasonableness and injustice of the establishment. And to make all those “oxen, ghosts, snakes, gods” embarrassed. (Just now the Secretary of Justice has stupidly said that Legco members should take the official oath as a show of "uniformity". Cadre from the Liaison Office, Li Gang, followed and made a similar threat.) Fear not, comrades! For it is fear that make our soul and courage perish. Let’s not fear, comrades! They are but “paper tigers”. I think Long Hair supporters wouldn't care much about the oath. We all want him to be there in the Legco. Long Hair is the one among the few who dare to play politics with the CCP, with Tung, with the unscrupulous capitalist land lords and money lords. He dare to test the limits of so many things that we have taken for granted. Hong Kong politics and political culture desperately need someones who dare to misbehave and disobey, to tell the truth, to let conscience take reign! We may not need revolution (though my inner anarchistic ghost has caused me to get more and more inclined to anti-establishment guys and I think many of the so-called educated middle class like us share the same sentiments). But we do need room, space and freedom to rethink about the established rules and challenge the limits: who set these? why so? what meaning? how nonsense? what alternatives? etc. Comrades, This place is our place! This time is our time!
Having said that, let's not treat Long Hair as an idol or even God. He certainly is no saviour for Hong Kong. I think Long Hair wouldn’t desire the same, too. He is just human being, homo sapiens with bone and flesh and, I trust, a good soul that many in the vanity fair don't have. I found Chan Ya's article in Apple Daily quite readable. It is hypocrisy and nuisance free! (c.f. property speculator Sze, who claimed to be once a Marxist with better theoretical knowledge). I here attach. Happy reading.

長毛當選，忽然變成傳媒寵兒，曝光率爆燈超標。長毛個性不是風頭躉，面對圍攏得比公屋單位高密度得多的傳媒專訪，呼吸難免困難，慨歎當選後被迫將真我活埋。
記者不是維園阿伯，不會用粗口問候長毛，但係擅於捕風捉影，喜歡小題大作。維園阿伯聲言要斬你，尚可以報警備案；傳媒要剝你光豬、挖你瘡疤，十個長毛都冇反駁之力。長毛不是田北俊，田少在酒店慶功時，驅逐追訪到來的記者，着人押着記者離場。闊少本色，一朝變臉。長毛不是有錢仔，不是公子出身，打拼街頭慣了，懂得生存走位，忽然face off化身田少嘴臉的可能性，其實很低。只是，人怕出名豬怕壯，傳媒除了sometimes naive之外，有時會很情緒化，叫你仆街，你就得踩在他布置好的蕉皮上，仆街應棍。
如果你是長毛的議員助理，請你替長毛搞搞思想工作，切記任何情況之下，絕對不宜講粗口。豎中指的議員，立法會已經有一個，長毛無謂爭。哲古華拉Tee當然繼續穿，但謹記別一朝富貴就把廟街貨收歸槓底，湊潮流跑去買560元一件的agn b.。煙仔仍然可以抽，立法會大樓不是醫院，但抽煙的神態要注意，要親近草根的士大佬，遠離作晒偉人look的官方毛主席和鄧小平舊照那種姿態。酒吧照去無妨，但六四吧年底易主以後，就得小心選擇落腳蒲點。中環跟東莞確係有段距離，但蘭桂坊隨街飛來的豔福，隨時是叫你人格破產的黃腳雞局。不必操心的倒是一頭長毛，安於現狀就好，不要學「哥哥」，過份打理，反而似男扮女裝的莫文蔚。
