The Flip Side of the Chinese Economic Miracle

I can't believe it, but for once I am in agreement with Stephen Harper's government: I'm happy that they are raising the issue of human rights with the Chinese.  The video in the link below comes from another one of the "new YouTubes", called metacafé, and it shows how disenfranchised the poor in China really are:

Now think about this: If I were posting this video in China, I could probably expect a visit from the police and a quick escort into the Chinese prison system.  Kind of puts our problems with our various levels of governments into perspective.

The Bush administration thanks you for very patriotic blog post showing the Godless communist Chinese for the totalitarian freedom-haters they really are. That time, date, and IP address of your posting has been noted and logged and will be taken into consideration by the prosecution should you ever be charged with being an enemy combatant. ;-)

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." —R.M. Rilke
