TIANANMEN PLUS FIFTEEN

Friday was the anniversary of the bloody crackdown that ended the pro-democracy student demonstration at Tiananmen Square (?????, if your browser can handle it). It's a lasting memory for me and was essentially my introduction to the concept of political revolution. I do not support every revolution (or ¡revolucion!) that comes my way, but this one I certanly did. And still do, though I'm afraid in China its time has long come and gone. Anyway, I try to keep politics off this website but I did think it was worth mentioning. I have a meatier version of the above paragraph, with a few observances from my 1995 visit to Beijing, over at Armed Prophet.
