Quote from Gabrielle Roth: "In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispi8rited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:
1. When did you stop dancing?
2. When did you stop singing?
3. When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
4. When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?"

Subject: [Ottawadissenters] Post revolutionary "equality"
It's interesting how revolutionary movements whose purpose is, in large
part, to bring about equality (e.g. the Marxist ideal: from each according
to his ability, to each according to his need) really don't stay equal very
long. The following, an editorial from the Washington Post, indicates that
China is dividing itself into the 1% and the 99%, and that the 1% are the
descendants of those who preached and promoted the ideals of the Chinese
Revolution.

China's Communist inheritance: A ticket to wealth
* Jan 04, 2013 01:27 AM EST
The Washington Post Published: January 3
THIS HAS BEEN a riveting time for those interested in the marriage of wealth
and power in China. A rising elite has fused capitalism and political might
with such spectacular success that the egalitarian dreams of Communist
China's founders seem lost in the mists of time. The implications are
immense for the world's second-largest economy.
A series of revealing inquiries into the Chinese elite have been published
in the last year by Bloomberg News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York
Times. With a level of detail not found in the Chinese news media, the
articles have portrayed how powerful and well-connected families grew
extremely wealthy. Of particular interest are the so-called

y-officials-build-lucrative-businesses-on-family-contacts/2012/04/23/gIQAE56
KdT_story.html> princelings: sons, daughters and grandchildren of the
revolutionary founders who fought alongside Mao Zedong and stood with
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/asia/feb/20/deng1.htm> Deng
Xiaoping. The
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/chinese-communist-leaders-
denounce-us-values-but-send-children-to-us-colleges/2012/05/18/gIQAiEidZU_st
ory.html> children seem to have inherited a golden touch.
Editorials represent the views of The Washington Post as an institution, as
determined through debate among members of the editorial board. News
reporters and editors never contribute to editorial board discussions, and
editorial board members don't have any role in news coverage.
Bloomberg reported Dec. 26 on the fortunes of 103 descendants of the
revolutionaries revered in China as the "Eight Immortals," who backed Deng
two years after Mao's death. Three of the descendants headed or still head
state-owned companies with combined assets of about $1.6 trillion in 2011,
or about a fifth of China's national output. Twenty-six ran or held top
positions in state-owned companies; 43 ran their own businesses or became
executives in private firms.
The Journal, meanwhile,
<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323723104578187360101389762.h
tml> reported Dec. 27 on a survey of the Chinese legislature that found it
is filled with millionaires and billionaires. Among China's richest 1,024
people, the Journal reported, 160 are seated in the Communist Party Congress
or a prominent advisory group. The business card of one clothing magnate
listed 10 political positions.
Earlier reports showed how families of China's leaders grew rich and
chronicled the spectacular
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/bo-xilai-removed-from-part
y-posts-wife-accused-in-british-businessmans-murder/2012/04/10/gIQA1jDL8S_st
ory.html> fall of Bo Xilai, the son of one of the "immortals," who was
ousted from the party and accused of wrongdoing after his wife was found
guilty of murdering a British businessman.
What's surprising in all this is not the wealth but the pattern of how those
with party heritage and privilege turned their connections into assets.
China's capitalism was unleashed without basic tools important to governing
it: rule of law, a competitive political system and a free press. The
winners in such a wild boom are often determined not by the market but by
arbitrary forces. Pedigree and favoritism rule, breeding corruption and
envy.
No doubt, the latest disclosures will seep through China's censors. They
will intensify resentments of many Chinese over the already yawning gap
between rich and poor in society and undermine the party's legitimacy at a
time when a new generation of leaders is taking the reins. China's model of
raging economic growth without political freedom or rule of law has lifted
hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. But there has always been an
underside, and now a new dimension of it lays exposed.
