...political will can be maintained by force. The book's editors suggest that the current leadership holds the same conviction. But China's economic openness--begun, ironically, by Deng in 1978--has surely created a challenge to the monopoly on power enjoyed for so long by so few. "Those goddamn bastards!" party elder Wang Zhen shouts at one point in the papers. "Who do they think they are, trampling on sacred ground like Tiananmen so long!? They're really asking for it! We should send the troops in right now to grab those counterrevolutionaries!" Wang died in 1993. One wonders...
...phoney people who just talk and talk about things. And you have to sit there and listen or else they will think you are a jerk. I mean, that just kills me and all. Anyway, school started again a couple weeks ago, and all the reading is just so goddamn depressing.

There are far worse parents in the world that this guy, but Margaret never seems to realize that J.D. was kinda doing...
...Anyway, Margaret should know that you can't trust adults with anything. You just can't. The only person I trust is my little sister Phoebe. Ya know, you can't rely upon goddamn adults to help you when you need it the most. They're just a depressing bunch, and it just kills me to think that I'd ever be like them. You see, that's what I think Margaret worries about, becoming like her father. But she managed to find a good husband, graduate from Harvard Divinity School and raise her son pretty good so far, although...
