random thought of the moment:

I challenge any skeptic to find a ten square mile spot on this planet where they can live their lives in peace and safety and decency, where womanhood is honored, where infancy and old age are revered, where they can educate their children, where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not gone first to prepare the way. If they find such a place, then I would encourage them to emigrate thither and there proclaim their unbelief. — James Russell Lowell

China silences Tiananmen critics
Police are quickly clamping down on attempts to mark the crackdown

A leading Chinese doctor who criticised the Communist Party's 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown has disappeared on the eve of its 15th anniversary.

Why do we (as a nation) keep ignoring China's horrendous human rights record and continue to trade so heavily with them?

If communism is so right and the Chinese government is so great, they shouldn't need to make people disappear to stop "dangerous" opinions. Mao forbid people be free to think for themselves and protest openly.
