I would rather not be taking the chance either. It's not anything like the type of government Syria, The Congo, Iran, Burma, or even Laos have. I mean how harsh is life really? Perhaps the protesting people should speak with their neighbors and see what mis-treatment truly is.

No offense to you Guava, I say the same thing to anyone protesting anything. There is always worse things in life. Especially when protesting politics! I mean really I do wonder if any of those people standing around you have any idea what life is really like in Burma or Laos??!!

Edited: Betti I assure you I am not trying to lay blame on anyone for anything. I am sternly trying to again make a point that the prideful and arrogant statment that "we have never been colonized" is just ridiculous. Those graves are over half a century old and it really no longer matters who was to blame back then. All governments from that time era have gone through significant changes and all have improved since then. It was not a blame game for me.
