Remember Tiananmen Square

1989. June 4th.Students. Thousands killed, many more wounded. By the hands of the Chinese authorities.Why? They demanded reform. Rights. Blogger.com, Hotmail, Twitter and Flicker has been blocked by the Chinese authorities. News papers are being sold with pages torn out. But people know. And I feel it's my duty to write about Tiananmen Square anywhere I can today. Nobody will drag me to jail for speaking the truth. My family will not vanish. My blog will not be censored or blocked. With this freedom comes responsibility. To scream when others are forced to silence.

We have been to several demonstrations and we will attend several more.

Remember: "All acts of conformity, however minor, are damnable. All acts of rebellion, however futile, are glorious."
