Solzhenitsyn 2
Looks like Ching Chong Ching Chong or whatever is leaving China to settle in New York.
Should be interesting to watch. If he continues agitating against abortion here in the US, he'll end up in jail again just like Randall Terry... and the US version of jail won't be house arrest. Our alleged "government" has only a few permanent principles, one of which is ABORTION IS A HOLY SACRAMENT. We don't cotton kindly to heretics who think that murdering babies is wrong.
If Ching etc holds to his principles, the reaction of our superstatus ruling class will be even more interesting. Cognitive dissonance or Unperson? Will some of them notice the contradiction in their attitudes? Bet against it, bet on Unperson.
A lot like Solzhenitsyn. Our media and ruling class agitated to pull him out of Russia; he spent 20 years in the West, mostly in Vermont. He expressed a mild liking for the town-meeting tradition of Vermont, but generally hated the West for the same valid reasons he'd hated the USSR. He had principles, so our ruling class decided to Unperson him. Finally in '94 he went back to Russia. ¶ 8:04 AM
