For some reason Mr. Wang's picture isn't loading - none of them are.

It is because I am a moron and coded everything fucked up. It should be okay now.

All clear. Thanks, man.

*rubs at face* Hey, any chance you're a Queen fan at all? Is it just me or is "Hammer to Fall" essentially today's theme song?

Here we stand, here we fall / History won't care at all...?

Heh.

Lay the bed, light the light -

Lady Mercy won't be home tonight... yup.

Liberty in Tiananmen
Flowers placed in the guns of men
Stop a tank with one bare hand
Together...

Actually, the events of Tienanmen prove that Mead quote, and its elitism, wrong. This (http://www.ihlo.org/item5/item5-1e.htm) is one of many articles I've found about the role of mass organizations of workers in the Tienanmen events.

"I want to stand alone in front of the world and that oncoming tank,
Like that Chinese boy that we all have to thank,
He showed us in a picture that I have mounted,
Exactly what it means to stand and be counted.

Stand and be counted
Stand on the truth
Stand on your honor
Stand and be counted"
-- CSNY Stand and Be Counted
