Let's see, you got most of his warts- his fascism, his elitism, his
imperialism, his racism, his misperceptionism of moral realitism; but you
forgot his Confucianism and his anti-beanerism, the one which is so heinous

forgotten to mention Confucianism unless he were attempting to conceal his
multiple reptilian identity.
    Interesting comparison though a little weak on the contrast. C+, Hotmail
