1 Debbye, is this really the first time you've found Sheila's blog? You're in for a treat. She was one of the many people who finally got me to cave in and start (although it was Emily Jones who crossed the entire US to threaten with physical bodily harm in person).

2 China The people of China have a marvelous degree of patience. They also extend and value respect. Why then do the [enlightened] Controllers of China, devoid of patience, lower the huge boot of state force, and randomly crush beautiful and promising young spirits who are merely voicing an opinion. China's Controllers may wish to advance from behind Kruchev's shoe and selectively detain protest leaders to tone things down, and then release them later when things cool off. China's leadership would thus display some measure of patience and earn at least some respect for improving leadership skills; For advancing into modern times along with the rest of Chinese living today. It is just that primitive behaviour that bars Chins from international clubs she longs to be part of. 73s TonyGuitar
