Im on a role of bitchiness at the moment
Just read what Rumsfield said to China's up and comming communist leaders:
"Every society has to be vigilant against another type of Great Wall that can be a burden on man's talents and is born from a fear of them - a wall that limits speech, information and choices," Mr. Rumsfeld said.
The secretary said history proved that it is impossible to isolate any population forever and that information seeps through. "And when those inside that wall glean insights about the world that they discover are notably different from what they have been taught and led to believe, the effect can prove dramatic," he cautioned.
I'd say some Amercan institutions and social groups should take heed also.
