Falun Wrong

On Friday the Falun Gong people were out silently protesting their fellows’ persecution back in China. I was instantly beset with a welter of conflicting thoughts…

• Good to be in a place where people can feel safe enough to protest in public like that
• Why in the world would China feel a need to persecute people for doing their little morning exercises… there must be more to the story
• But my notion of freedom seems to not quite apply in China. And their brand of society seems to be pretty amazingly successful these days.
• Forced organ harvesting? Really? In the hundreds of thousands? Really? Wouldn’t we have heard more?
• Or not… can we trust the media to report on the important issues?
• Yeah, actually, I think we can, more or less
• So, good luck with your protest, I hope you find happiness somehow.
