This is so naive a post that I can only believe that someone has hijacked your account, and I can't wait for your amendments to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolpuddle_Martyrs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi I expect you might have an apology and weakly-argued defence tomorrow, when you might have sobered up, but right now you are on thin ice in epistemological terms and are closer to a 17-year old newly-"radicalised" student than a considered scholar. Shame on you, and that's without discussing the legal system of China. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
