    And in further news from the China Propoganda and Total BS Bureau, flying pigs were seen over the South China Sea, Google and other search engine results were uncensored, freedom of thought and expression are now widely promoted across China, all accused persons will now receive a fair trial, political prisoners have become a thing of the past, Tibetan self-determination was granted, democracy encouraged to flourish and hell froze over.

    One question longriver. Do you actually believe and subscribe to that BS?
    I wonder why the things that should be so simple, so natural... like loving someone and letting them see into your heart... should require so much courage?

    Whilst, no doubt, smiling a fiendish smile. Possibly whistling "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off To Work We Go..." and sharpening a bayonet. Don't you just love a person who can multi-task?
