You gotta love the Chinese approach. The world's oldest and strongest communist totalitarian dictatorship? That's what our troops are fighting for right now? That's your role model? Not for me, amigo. Since you and Warp are both from the Left Coast, we will ban all travel and public interaction from everywhere west of Colorado, I guess. SI will be pulling your memberships too - targeted groups should be denied freedom of speech along with due process and equal protection. Gotta love a firm hand that stamps out threats early on. Act quickly and don't hesitate. Profile and repress, comrades! ;<)
