        Worth remembering Deng was purged and abused during the Cultural Revolution. Explains his lack of patience for this nonsense.

        You must be too young to remember Shirley’s 55 books about her 65 previous lives. She’s a certified kook.

        I would have thought liberal Hollywood actors would have learned a lesson from Stalin's Soviet Union in not falling for communist countries as socialist utopias.
