None from colum A or B...

It seems that while our good friends the Government of China love to keep buying up American greenbacks...we still have a very long way to go in regards to working together with them for a better world. President Obama recently did a Q&A with a bunch of students in Shanghai. Many questions were asked of him including his feelings on freedom, in particular on the Internet. He stated that he believed in "non-censorship", Universal Rights including freedom of speech, religion, participation in the political process & that immutable basic rights make a people stronger. Well, it turns out aside from handpicking the audience & scripting the questions (hmmm I guess they are learning from us) the Chinese Government also censored the whole thing! It barely got any broadcast time & when some of it hit the Internet in China...it disappeared shortly thereafter. This is sad & hopefully will change. A lesson needs to be learned here. You can & should try your best to engage in conversation...but it only works when the other party is willing &/or able to listen in the first place...
