A man so various, that he seem'd to be Not one, but all mankind's epitome; Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong, Was everything by starts, and nothing long; But in the course of one revolving moon Was chymist, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon. John Dryden Not sure, but I think he is talking about AS.

I'm not bothering to link back to the posts on which I am commenting. You had been discussing some matters with TSIG. There is probably some background that would explain the sneering and disrespect. I am not familiar with it, so I will ignore it. Let me just comment on what I know about the Chinese culture: The people are industrious. If they can make money, they will work and be happy. They have no innate cultural violence or tendency to irrational madness. For the most part...people under Communist rule are well aware they are slaves under an immoral dictatorship. It does not advance the cause of peace and progress to attack individual Chinese or to perpetuate the common propaganda of "Capitalist Pigs". Arrogance and disdain are misplaced when addressed to individuals in these circumstances. Hate Communism--don't hate the people. The battle against Communist Dictators may only be won through the people... I say all of the above without criticism--but as opinion.
