None of us are free until ALL of us are free

This is an issue near and dear to my heart: the tale of China’s military takeover of Tibet, like the sad fact of the Dalai Lama’s exile, chills me every time I think on it. China is a country with a grand cultural history; but this should not be a part of it.
For more information, see The International Campaign for Tibet. My thanks to PoMoGoLightly and Pippi Kneesocks for promoting this meme of recognition, today, among knitbloggers. My hope is that this helps, in a small way, increase someone’s knowledge of the subject.

I watched a documentary about China on PBS the other day and it showed pictures from Tibet today…it was covered in huge billboards advertising everything from snack foods to abortions. To think that this was an ancient place, and a sacred place, virtually untouched by the outside world for millennia, and to see what it looks like now is just disgusting and tragic.
And this whole having the Olympics in China thing is some serious horseshit…
