Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989 is another example.
The killing fields in Cambodia is another
I can make a list of over 100 if you like. Today we have the right to express our opinions on events that surround us. If we choose to be like sheep and led to where ever our fools in power want to take us, then I pity us.
We speak out because we can. And I for one never want to give up that right or see those that I disagree with lose that right.
