He should be able to have some say over what becomes of his sculpture, and shouldn't allow it to be displayed in Hong Kong where he is denied entry. I understand the importance of security for the country but it's ridiculous how tight security has become. I also agree that it’s stupid that the sculptor couldn’t see his own sculpting.

This 20th anniversary could be a big inspiration for the young revolutionaries. I think it's sketchy that the Chinese government never releases the truth, or at least all of the truth. Who knows what's really going on over there? I think that the colleges are steppin up the security because college students are the ones who will revolt.

The whole nation is ruled by fear. If there was one little slip up in that regimen, like for example that earthquake that happened recently, people would jump at the chance to "flex their muscles" so to speak. Oh, and Mrs. Buell, I thought that the video about the plainclothes cops was funny. The reporter kept touching the officer and he didn't do a thing about it.
