Ok, you got me. One balances the other and we can let Tibet slide 
into the pages of history along with the Indians even tho that was 
then and this is now. Its cheap in terms of karma but then again one 
risks being branded a dharma bum which takes a million lifetimes of 
strenuous payback. Chances are, M has already moved into another 
ravine with a view somewhere in Sikkim or Bhutan. Or at least until 
the Greater China blob catches up with him again.

your constitution, but I was referrring to Free Speech not the 
freedom of religious beliefs.  The freedom of religious beliefs were 
made at a time when there was only two religions operating in the 
west, christianity and protestanism. Salem showed that religious 
beliefs were strictly christian beliefs.

Chinese, they do not hide behind a constitution that is constantly 
set up as the ideal and at the same time flagrantly crushes those 
ideals.
