Nice one Wayne. I am studying my LaoTzu, Mao, Marx,and Li Yu in order to steal/compose my Mao poem on the everturning dialectic that will leave us in the driver's seat next time history makes another leap forward. Don{t count me out in the running for that watch....

Wayne;
What a wonderful historical study of the life of Chairman Mao. I never knew that he was a mid-westerner - that explains a lot! You are a scholar and a gentleman ( I guess ). Your essay could be the winner or at least a runner-up, congratulations.
Aloha,

The Life and Times of Mao Zhedong.
Most Chinese and Western histories record little Mao’s birth as being somewhere in Hunan Province on Boxing Day, 1893. Actually, he was born in Toledo, Ohio on March 12, 1894 to Moira and Cassius Breckenridge in the back of the Hotel Demimonde between Acts 2 & 3 of The Chinaman’s Curse, a Melodrama written by Moira’s second Uncle Vaysha while serving time in a Lithuanian prison for child empersonation. He had started out to re-write Ivanhoe but fell asleep one night over a bowl of Borsht Chow Mein and decided instead to write a parable about capitalism, Marx and phrenology.
Shortly after Mao’s birth, he and his parents moved to Shanghai to avoid prosecution by Ohio police for shoplifting. The mad dash across the Great Plains in the middle of the summer was always considered a seminal event for Mao and one which he used to great advantage when he first began teaching diesel mechanics in night school. His great spiritual mentor was, of course, the noted Darwinist and converted Quaker, Dr. Moon Yet Sin, in Changsha, capital of Hunan. When Dr. Moon led a peaceful protest in 1911 protesting the rice tax and the war against Japan, the local police beat him and his fourteen lady consorts severely about the head and shoulders. Mao left Dr. Moon for another province and began the serious study of John Nathan Mill, Herbert DeLong Spencer, and Camille Rousseau but was handicapped by lack of money and began a series of daring midnight raids against local porno houses and opium dens. Soon he was known as Master Mao, Kingpoon of Tang province.
His short life as a bandit hero among the local peasants was interrupted first by moving to Peking, disguised as a duck and later by World War II and the coming of General MacArthur, General Tojo and General Mills of Madison, Wisconsin. It was reading the entire Communist Manifesto on the back of a Wheaties box that caused him the form the first truly communist cell in Peking: The Pink Duck Gang. The PDG, as it was known, secretly plotted to with other student to make May 5, 1919 a day of national protest against Japanese concessions. Unhappily, the PDG overslept and the uprising took place without them the previous day, May 4. Undaunted, Mao decided to make his ideas known to more people, Mao had a local printer run off four and a half million copies of his Little Pink Book. Because of previous commitments to a local movie theater, the printer ran out of white ink and the last four and a quarter million copies came out bright red. The rest, as they say, is history.
Embaressed by this faux pas, Mao and his follower’s, Bart, Grimaldi, Juan and Yang, fled to XianShiang province to live out their lives in peace. But they were not allowed to do so, as unknown to many, Cecil B. deMille was planning to make a great extrava
