P.S. The rest of the world and the little pet shop owner in Yongin City are not trying to harass China.

Every single Chinese knows hat Mao caused pain and suffering to his own nation but China does not look at Mao's portrait as a person, it is a symbol for all Chinese people. Despite his drawbacks we are willing to look forward and look at the bigger picture that it was a time when China finally would not take anymore harassment. For centuries China had been plagued in corruption in addition to fighting other countries wars that bankrupted a peaceful ming. Mao is like the once wise man that has gone haywire in his retirement home but China will still look after this man. We may not hail him; It serves a reminder to us that with power comes responsibility. Mao made millions die but his portrait is a symbol of how China fought back.

But he was known to accelerate that process, wasn't he? No one has accused Oscar of this. Or should we infer a prophecy? Re #36

As I recall, one of the Great Helmsman’s aphorisms was the nonchalant “People die all the time.” But he was known to accelerate that process, wasn’t he? No one has accused Oscar of this.

Or should we infer a prophecy?

Might I suggest a new version incorporating <a href="http://content.nejm.org/content/vol357/issue4/images/large/03f1.jpeg" rel="nofollow">this portrait</a>? In my ever-so-humble opinion, he looks positively Chairmanly in it. Very clever.
