My Own Political Party » Human Rights http://political-party.losito.net Tired of the two party system? I decided to start my own political party!

Now I am in the middle of reading Wild Swans by Jung Chang. This book is truly fascinating. It is a true story about the author, her mother and her grandmother and China starting in the late 1800s. The author does a great job of making you visualize the country. In fact, I even though about buying myself some bamboo silk trees to decorate my house.

The book is not all about the beauty of China, it is about its darker side. The hopes of the people when a new fairer communist government was put in place and how those hopes were destroyed.

It is a great book and well worth reading.

Since they are a communist country, the politicos do not like bad press. Press agents have been beaten and stories recanted. There are 20 topics that are considered off topic, including, judicial corruption, individual rights campaigns, lifestyles of the rich, and extramarital affairs.

It is a shame that such a large country, with such a hard working population, would have to be undergo such censorship. I am surprised that individuals are allowed to send birthday invitations without the government opening them up, showing up at the party, and demanding a percentage of the birthday cake.

I would love to boycott China made products, but on the other hand, I don’t want the people of China to suffer. Between a rock and a hard place.
