   The　Tibetans don’t want independence. They want to be able to worship freely. I have traveled in Tibet, and have several good Tibetan friends who were hideously tortured for political or religious dissidence, not violence.

   As bad as things get in Yorkshire, now one has to worry about being whipped and burned for having illegal photographs.

   Travel around in Tibet and then tell us how much of the vaunted economic boom that has followed “Liberation” trickled down to the common Tibetans, and how much was reserved for the Han who have flooded into the area, especially in the last twenty years.

   Many Chinese of your age (your co-workers, perhaps) can’t understand why, since minorities get extra points on the Gao Kao, any of them would have anything against the government. And didn’t the gov’t build that lovely railroad? This maybe it helps them get to sleep at night, but it’s not the full story.

   I generally admire your blog, especially Shoe Tuesday. I hope this was just the booze talking.

   you could make this a new feature swizzel, this could easily rival Shoe Tuesday “15 Pint Opinions(TM)”, next week “catholic priests”

   Second that, dingle! And you could have guest contributors. Pirates and truck drivers are known to blush when I get talking after my third g&t.

   Why take it down? Just put up a disclaimer and let everybody read what you’ve written.

   Also I would totally dig “Dissidents Fridays” or “Free Speech Mondays”.

   I can see why you’d want to read it Taiko, but imagine if you could always wake up and delete the horrible mistakes you made the night before. Sweet.

   Thanks for a good response anyway Pete

   I still have a complete copy of what James wrote if anyone wants to bid for it on eBay

   The money will be donated to the Free Tibet Society!

    Well internet allows to delete the mistake not erase it.

    google is a tool can be good or evil, depends on how you use it
