Not because of the weather but this bit

"Officials have ordered residents into work groups to clear the snow and ice. "

Lovely....

That seems eminently sensible.

You wouldn't be able to organise our lot into that sort of activity.

You're right we'd probably leave it to the people we pay to do it rather than press gang local residents in to slave labour -

It's not slave labour. It's COMMUNISM!

Funny you should bring this up today. I was just discussing China with a friend who is adopting a baby from China. Some of the things he has told me really make me wonder how they can live so radically different than us. He has been in the adoption process for 4 years and in 3 weeks its final. He has to supply "gifts" to many people involved in the process. He must supply the orphanage 3 gifts. At about 3 days old his baby was left at the foothills in a commonly used hunting path of tigers.

Anyway...sorry to get off topic hmm
