Aren’t socialist/communist countries, amongst other nefarious things, supposed to suppress/beat the humanity and creativity out of their subjects? We’ll, that sure wasn’t evident in China. I saw nothing but pure unbridled creativity on brilliant display during the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games. And that creativity was matched by an equally impressive display of precise execution. It was pretty amazing to watch. Now, I know about China’s questionable human rights record (is our own record that remarkable?). I’m also keenly aware of some of the human atrocities committed under the banner of socialism/communism (and capitalism, and democracy, and religion…). Anyhow, like I said, just an observation…
