a plaza in Beijing, China that was the scene of a massive peaceful pro-democracy movement in 1989. The protestors occupied the area for several days. The protests were begun by students and soon farmers, urban laborers and others joined in. It was covered by foreign media extensively. Some demonstrators held signs expressing (in English) a desire for glasnost like that in the U.S.S.R courtesy of Gorbachev. Some erected a huge papier mache statue dubbed the "Goddess of Democracy". Sad to say, the Politburo Red Army revved up their tanks and started to chase and mow down demonstrators in their paths. I saw this hideous crackdown erupt live on NBC. A few protestors managed to stick torches into tanks and burn them up. A massive news blackout was immediately imposed by the Chinese authorities. To this day foreigners still don't know how many Chinese people lost their lives in the bloodbath. Estimates run up to the thousands, maybe more.
1. And the question is: if the Communist Chinese society was such a egalitarian classless democratic utopia as theorized by Karl Marx - like the Chinese commies
would have you believe, then why did so many people hold demonstrations? The answer: they weren't satisfied with things. And how come? Because the regime wasn't living up to Marxist theory. The whole Communism biz is a crock. In an ideal classless utopia there would be no crackdown like this. It's another example of government corruption and lies. One of these days it's all gonna fall, just like Axl Rose said.
2. Ben and Lora went to China in order to adopt a child from there. They visited places like the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square, where a huge portrait of Chairman Mao is watching you. One of these days ...

Get the Tiananmen Square mug.Squornshellous System
Squornshellous System is a four-star system 27 light-years from earth.
Squornshellous Alpha The first planet in from the four-star system Squornshellous, it is very cold and inhabited by giant, burrowing mattresses that spit acid.
Squornshellous Beta Two planets in from Squornshellous Zeta, it is inhabited by square cushions whom enjoy being rubbed up against, especially with people's shoulders. Unlike Squornshellous Zeta, it has desert terrain rather than swamps.
Squornshellous Delta The second planet in between Squornshellous Zeta and Beta, it is inhabited by flying pillows--there is no solid ground but only infinite clouds.
Squornshellous Gamma Squornshellous Gamma is a quite, hot, bumpy little planet, with a thick, dense atmosphere. Probably the worst place to crash, because communication to other planets is impossible, due to the thick atmosphere, and the rain is solid. The 12' by 9' cushions have only a five-second memory--they'll ask you who you are first, then who they are next, and, needless to say, most people die of annoyance within an hour.
Squornshellous Zeta Dimly illuminated and very very swamp-intensive, Squornshellous Zeta is the source of almost all the Galaxy's mattresses. Said mattresses (all of which are called Zem) spend most of their time flolloping, globbering, volluing, and vooning. Said activities make the planet a favourite destination of etymologists. The Zem themselves remain a foot tall, until they are freeze-dryed and cleaned, and made into mattress-size corpses (which are promptly used as mattresses). It is a process which, strangely enough, they don't seem to mind at all.
Marvin the Paranoid Android was invited to the planet to give a speech marking the opening of a giant new bridge intended to revive the economy of the Squornshellous System, said bridge also costing the total sum of the economy of the entire planet to create and the whole ceremony ended in tears. Marvin was plugged into the bridge and the whole cyberstructure instantly folded itself up and collapsed (presumably after being directly exposed to Marvin's chronically depressed view of the Universe). Marvin was left stranded in the swamp with only the mattresses to talk to, until robots from Krikkit stole his leg, and then the rest of him.
