I thought the Long March took place in 1934-35??en.wikipedia.org And btw, with regard to "hated dictators", I guess it's just the fact that he was hated by the Communists, and not the fact that he was a dictator that's important?? you would lose all you have as your credit ponzi schema blows up Do you understand the concept of "Manufacturer Financing"? What happens to the manufacturer if they can't find people willing/able to use credit to buy their products? The economic danger of excessive reliance on credit to purchase the goods/services we use on a daily basis is exceeded only by manufacturers reliance upon the use of excessive credit to sell their goods/services. and less than zero of iota difference to hong kong, because you are disposable So are you, when you find yourself in a position where you have what someone in a position of authority wants. And that PLA force can just as quickly come to SEIZE the wealth in HK's electronic/physical bank accounts as it might to protect it from the peasants/proletariat. And when the peasants revolt, you can be sure you folks like you will be sacrificed to appease them. Maybe you and Chiang Kai Shek have more in common than you realize.. ;0)- tell me another funny one ;0) creditwritedowns.com <<Never forget that the poor always outnumber the rich>> - counting on that truth.

Very "Noble" of you and an attitude for which you'll surely reap your just reward someday.. ;0) Hawk
