In China, a Grass-Roots Rebellion – washingtonpost.com

In China, a Grass-Roots Rebellion – washingtonpost.com.

It is nice to see more regular people in China participating in this somewhat passive dissent. Probably nothing will come of it any time soon, but I can’t believe that China will remain totalitarian forever.

I have to say I do feel pretty lucky after reading this. While there are a large number of things that I am unhappy about with America, at least I am able to blatantly, and publicly, voice my problems with the government without any real worry of retribution. But all of those people who signed the charter are packed, ready, and expecting to be hauled off to jail. And yet, they still signed. 

I wonder if I would be so brave. I like to think so.

    How brave these individuals are. I cannot imagine a censored Internet, and a govt that spies on its own citizens. We take our freedoms for granted…
