It's a sad day in China, but you know that the freedoms there are compromised, but here in the USA, you don't expect such a thing, but if Bush is allowed his reign of terror, well it can happen right here. Any of us are subject to jail time or at the least harrassment. People read about China and shake their heads and are so blinded by our so called democracy that they don't see that we are in as bad a shape as they are in China. All it takes is a whim of a nut case for a president to decide to read our blogs, listen in on our phones, or spy through what ever other spy devices they have and I'm sure there are many. It's scarry.
