So that this blog doesn't turn into a botany blog introducing all my house plants to you: here is an entry about democracy in action including a picture that is a colour other than green.
Tibetan people are upset. The Dalai Lama is asking for a dialogue. China says: Sure, let's have a dialogue - there is only one condition: do not talk about independence.
Not sure if that qualifies as "dialogue".
I added my 2 cents by signing Avaaz.org's petition: three lines and a mouse click. One person won't have an effect, 1000 won't have an effect either. But if it's hundreds of thousands, then the 2 minutes I have invested might add up. It's worth a try:
Petition to Chinese President Hu Jintao:
As citizens around the world, we call on you to show restraint and respect for human rights in your response to the protests in Tibet, and to address the concerns of all Tibetans by opening meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Only dialogue and reform will bring lasting stability. China's brightest future, and its most positive relationship with the world, lies in harmonious development, dialogue and respect.
