Hey all,

I thought this was an interesting story. If you click on the link and then click on the video link (Freedom A Taboo Word on Chinese Internet) under the "World Headlines." It should then load, then play.

Microsoft (and I guess any country that does business with China) are certainly aiding in the blatant goverment control on the flow of information to and from the Chinese people. I say blatant because, here, in America, we have other means of control, i.e. consumerism.

If you watch another story about the annual flux of cricket sales in the Cambodian streetmarkets, you might think (like I did) how Cambodian's would thrive on Fear Factor, compared to us, who lavish ourselves with cheeseburgers and pasta from the Olive Garden statewide.

Alright, enough cynical junk--I happen to enjoy the Olive Garden every now and then, except now my wife works at a restaurant that is better than the Olive Garden, and she gets a discount--cha ching!

Later,
