Northern California has always been a magnet for freaks. Live protests are pretty much the norm here. We're a rebellious bunch, and we don't necessarily buy into mainstream thoughts and ideas.
Yesterday there was a protest on the Golden Gate Bridge regarding the Olympic torch and the games in China. While I admire the spunk of the protesters, I ponder exactly what they're trying to accomplish by climbing a bridge,hanging up signs and snarling traffic. Do you think for one minute the Chinese government is going to suddenly cease their control over Tibet because of some protesters climbing on the bridge 1/2 way around the world? I can just hear the conversation between Chinese government officials now....
Wang: Ahhhhhh... we have trouble. Do you think we should revamp our policy in Tibet? Three guys are on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco holding up signs and tying up traffic. They don't seem to like us very much.
Chung: Gutless bastards don't have the balls to come over here to China and protest because they know we'd shoot them on site. Typical spineless American bastards. They sure like the cheap shit we produce at the expense of our environment and our citizens. We can't export crap fast enough for these consumer-driven pigs. How come they're not protesting THAT? It's something that they have more control over.
Wang: Good point. . and we are laughing all the way to the bank..ha ha ha. ..We Chinese, we play joke, we put pee-pee in American's Coke... But,seriously, Chung, ... How do you think we should handle this situation?
Chung: Who cares? America is a has-been nation of spoiled, fat idiots. They couldn't rally together to save themselves if the need came forth to save their lives. They'd be too busy whining looking for somebody to blame or somebody to sue. Look at their leader! What a total piece of shit he is... Forget protesting what's going on in Tibet. They should focus on the terrible human rights violations happening within their own borders brought by their own so-called elected leader.
Wang: If that's democracy, then how is it different then our form of government?
Chung: It's not. It's a little lie they tell themselves.
