seventy years of the long march

Quite by coincidence, the Chinese government recently celebrated 70 years since the end of the Long March on 22 October 1936.

mao contemplates better places to live

mao marched for two years and 9,600 km looking for a better place to live; he could have saved his shoes with a five star system designating the livability of various places.

Ratings are determined using a highly complex multi-criteria index and weighting scale which is completely arbitrary and varies depending on whatever we feel like at the time:

City or Town	Bogan 1.0
Melbourne, Australia
Singapore
Beijing, China
Canberra, Australia
Euroa, Australia

mao notes the war on terror

"Of course no one should go off into wild flights of fancy, or make plans of action unwarranted by the objective situation, or stretch for the impossible.

The problem today, however, is that Rightist conservative thinking is still causing mischief in many spheres and preventing the work in these spheres from keeping pace with the development of the objective situation.

The present problem is that many people consider it impossible to accomplish things which could be accomplished if they exerted themselves."
