This from someone who in every other post appeals to the authority of
Hanoi Chomsky!

So with that diversion we can assume that your recommendation for a moral
society is not Hong Kong. Rather, like Chomsky, your choice would be
Vietnam.
The rest isn't worth spending time to respond. All sorts of feints,
dodges, distractions and personal insults to avoid telling us how you
define and would bring about "The Moral Society."
