[2012-01-16 01:08:01 UTC]	<NatureJay>	Some of the things he did would actually be funny if not for the fact that the end result was usually thousands of deaths from starvation.

[2012-01-16 01:26:54 UTC]	<NatureJay>	Mao was just sort of incidentally evil.  He did a lot of things that he thought were going to help the people out and move the country forward and they ended up failing horribly.
