====================
You offer anti-capitalist propaganda from Communist China about "income
disparity" as evidence? Are you not aware that this is but thinly
veiled
justification for taking rich Chinese out and putting a bullet in the
back
of their heads because they have presumed to make a profit in a
Communist/Socialist society?

You're going to have to do MUCH better than that.
=============

I suggest that your reaction to info from China is an over-reaction.
Any self-respecting communist is turning over in his grave at the sight
of what is happening in China today. China may be many things --
totalitarian to start -- but it is hardly communist. It may have
considerable vestiges of communism but they are vanishing at a rapid
rate. The victims of that move are just so much trash to be discarded.
These victims would never know they are in a country that is supposedly
communist. What is happening in China can best be compared to England
in 1850 (and the Chinese peasants are the Irish of the year 2005).

Scott, don't let the name of the country put you off. Right now the
relationship between the capitalists and the government borders on a
love-in.

So, fair enough, reject my source re poverty and crime, but please
acquaint yourself with what is going on in China. It is hardly the
"red" Chine of a foregone era.
