Today on a Fox News live feed I saw some people littering up the Golden Gate bridge with some unreadable banners about Tibet. In the same news cycle I read about protesters “for Tibet” in London and France mucking up the running of the Olympic torch. In France it appears that they even decided to take it up with a person in a wheelchair who was probably living out some sort of dream by moving the torch. Nice.
To this very simple blogger it seems that all of the Beastie Boys front row seats, bridge scaling and Richard Gere speeches are doing exactly zero for the people of Tibet.
I would have to assume that the only real solution is a dirty one for those who want to “free Tibet”. Two words: Send Guns.
I suppose nobody who is doing all of this protesting, bridge scaling and other nonsense is interested in the real solution, but are more interested in making a statement and feeling good.
