====================================================================== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. ======================================================================
I'm with Charles and Joe on this one. Speaking of "a backward and distrustful bunch of hillbillies as one is likely to encounter," I'm reading "The Long March" by Sun Shuyun, and if this account is accurate (as opposed to Jung/Halliday-style fiction), the post-1927, rural-based CCP sure fits that bill, with all the slasher-movie-scale violence that comes with it. Anyone else read it?
