You all probably know about the June 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. China's last major push for democracy. This is what that video is about, mainly about tank man. However, it also talks about modern day China. How the chinese government censors things like google searches and emails. How the economic reform in the country blinds people to the tyrannical regime. This is a good example of how governments operate not only in a communist state.

    Very good documentary. Frontline puts on some of the better programs on PBS. They had some excellent footage of the protests and how the Chinese Gov't finally just rolled in and put and end to things when they saw they had no way out. The best part is, is that nobody even knows who this guy is!! He was just swept into the crowd and never heard from again. Wonder who helped him escape, or who took him into "custody". Makes you think.

    and so the neocons use this content of history in a reverse psychology way to flip and fool us and underestimate us into believing what they truley know and truley believe are lies to pry and Dictate onto others. They obviously think we don't have a brain. They are the dictarors pretending to be the tank man. How dumb do we have to be to not see?
    we don't want war, but we still want more?

    It's too bad they don't just appear as reptiles so we know they are bad. :(

    Democracy is no reliance upon those more greedy than you.
    From those you let know your beliefs control the citizens freedom.
    IT is the same head that will detract all your benifits.
    All things need to grow.
    Does Money own freedom? not when it comes to god or spirit of course.
    there ain't gunna be any middle any more.
    Its greed that will kill us all
    "How come Pearl Jam never plays here!!?"
    dance in your money bath as many better people suffer.
    Let heaven rain its fullest power upon those deserving.
    is this a piece of artwork?,
    or the army's restraint?
    Power corrupts, absolute power will corrupt absolutley.
    Truth is the worst type of information.
    it causes betrayal.
    Both good and evil Love what they are even if they don't know what they are..
    ...Do you know what you are?
    we don't want war, but we still want more?

    they do.
    But reptiles are not bad. Its thier way of nature. We as humans have the choice to choose the reptile way, explaining the reptile existance of thought passed upon evoltution that we all have in each of us created by characteristics, through evolution allow us to define our emotion that we choose to follow. That must be why our blood runs so close to all living things. Children grow the faces of thier teachers.

    Somebody that is good at making music should write a parody of Scatman.
