Nien Cheng Quote

"Day and night the city resounded with the loud noise of drums and gongs … looting and the ransacking of private homes … The violence of the Red Guards seemed to have escalated. … Articles in the newspapers … encouraged the Red Guards and congratulated them on their vandalism. They were … exhorted to be fearless in their work of toppling the old world and building a new one based on Mao’s teachings."

The civilized do not loot, ransack, vandalize, or violate.  The socially responsible express the step by step transition from degeneration to rejuvenation.  All will be informed and made aware of the best possible path followed for the best interests of all participants.  A win-win circumstantial condition can be reached.  The attainable universal agreement is always felt possible to the reasonable creative individual.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
