In less than 24 hours, over a billion people will watch the opening ceremonies in Beijing of the Olympic Games. How many will be thinking of China’s forceful occupation of the Tibetan people for almost fifty years?

FREE TIBET!
Actually I think there are many who are thinking about this….It can’t be just you and me!
I know one very special woman;Giorgia Fumanti who is a great singer,who have been in China several times and performed…She is there now!
Her message is clear,she sings from her heart and I think it is good that she is there now…
Every way to spread the message of Peace,Love and Understanding is good…
I only wish that we could wake up NOW! To see that we are all one….Why is this so hard to do?

There are many people around the world voicing their opposition to what China is doing, but will the Chinese government listen? Somehow I don’t think so. (Several Americans and Brits were arrested in Beijing for peacefully protesting two days ago.) Unless the world unites and forces China to return Tibet to the Tibetan people, it won’t happen! The Olympic Games would have been the perfect opportunity for the nations of the world to unite concerning this issue, but did they? No!
President Bush’s speech on the eve of the Games criticizing China’s human-rights practices was “too little too late” if you ask me. Before that he said he was going to the Olympics as a sports fan and that’s basically what he’s doing.

Mia, by our comments, I would think it is just you and I reading my blog! Haha! That would be okay if it were true, but I know many others do read it. Patrick and many in my family and friends read it as well, but they don’t comment. They figure, we talk enough on the phone or in real life, that they don’t need to discuss things here as well.

yeah…I know what you mean…
Is it not the same in “small” issues as well?
Tell someone to stop overeating; for example…
Do they listen?
Or…A driver not turning off the engine, even it is says just 1 minute is allowed?
They know they are wrong,but if you tell them…wow,many react with the comment”I do as I please,are you a police or something?”
So it is true as the Sufi master said:”See the big in the small”
Haha…I know others read your blog as well…
I would also be happy to talk with you in “real” life and discuss things…but that is not the case right now…so I’m happy I can do it here…
And if Patrick,or any of your family and friends read my comments too..cool, if not that is okay too…
But If!Hello there everyone!

As Albert Einstein said, “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”
