Hong Kong Protests of Beijing

Anthony checks in with a story on Hong Kong protests...

"The central government has to come up with a timetable and proposal to say how Hong Kong people can truly have one person, one vote instead of it being decided by 1,200 members of the ruling class," said Ed Chin, one of Occupy Central's organisers.
...
Leung has been hit by scandals since taking power a year ago, ranging from illegal building work at his mansion to last week's fraud conviction for his first development secretary, Mak Chai-kwong.
Now, when does a top USA official ever get convicted of anything?    This top spy continues to spy on Americans. He continues to spy on Americans in safety.

The reason we know the above two were breaking the law, is because this fellow, Snowden, leaked the info.  Now Snowden is running for his life.  In USA tell lies, keep your job.  Reveal truth, lose your life.

It gets worse.  People who will cheat experience an atrophy of smarts.  And they cannot see the obvious problems with their ideas.  For example, people around the world believe they are immune from USA hegemony because their countries are independent.  But by threatening countries around the world vis a vis Snowden, citizens see their politicians are just Obama lapdogs.

The offers came one day after leftist South American leaders gathered to denounce the rerouting of Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane over Europe amid reports that the fugitive American was aboard.
Snowden, who is being sought by the United States, has asked for asylum in more than 20 countries, including Nicaragua and Venezuela. Many another nations have turned him down.

So the first article about Hong Kong is actually very encouraging...  the people of Hong Kong take to the streets at the drop of a hat, and top officials get convicted.  Democracy, universal suffrage may change in Hong Kong.  Look at USA, democracy, universal suffrage, no protests, no convictions no safety from the government.

Maybe leave well enough alone in Hong Kong.  And create our own Hong Kong in USA.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
