reminds me of lincoln's quote, saying that, if the USA were to become a country where we said "all men are created equal" but then made exceptions for women, blacks and catholics, that he'd rather "emigrate to some land where they make no pretense of loving liberty; to russia for example, where despotism can be had in its pure form, without the base alloy of hypocrisy"
sounds like lincoln wouldn't have liked modern china as his getaway...but then he wasn't a climber.
