King, my hockey watching days started with the Habs of the later 1960's, lead by Beliveau but still with some remnants of the great fifties team. Then I got to be a rabid fan during the 1970's era, the greatest team ever!
I can't separate Bethune's medical accomplishments with his adoration of the mass murderer, Mao. I don't know how you do it. Frankly, given your admiration for socialism and communism and it's horrendous track record as the most evil, murderous system of governance as yet unleashed on this earth, I don't know how you do that either. Is it a willful blindness to the foibles of man? A rejection of including human nature as a key attribute in assessing the viability or desirability of differing systems of governance? You sure seem to happily give a pass to some pretty bad behavior in order to support the intellectual ideals.
BTW, Happy New year to you and everyone else on doubleguns. May 2017 be your best year yet!
