I sure do, and you have got my point. The Chinese destruction of Tibet
and
that wonderful culture is one of the major crimes in our time.
Personally I have a few problems with this boycott thing. I am writing
these
words on a Dell computer, and Dell is based in the US. The US recently
invaded Iraq (and in my blooming youth they killed a lot of
Vietnamese), so
should I throw my computer out of the the window?
Denmark even has troops in Iraq but I cant boycott Denmark as I live in
Denmark.
Best wishes,

You could become an expatriot. Simply leave Denmark, and move to an
area that you find to be more in accord with your morality. But you
want the Danish nanny state to subsidize your career of being a crank ,
spewing cyber-venom.
Still, I'm interested: If you are so passionate about human rights
issues, can we expect you to issue fervant excoriations of nations such
as Russia (Chechnya), China (Tibet, etc), Mexico (Chiappas), Turkey &
Iran (Kurdistan), Syria (Lebanon), Indonesia (Aceh), Spain (Euskaldunak
[Basques]), UK (Northern Ireland)?
You seem to have an inordinate ability to maintain selective
outrage. You quiescently accept mention of every country--except for
Israel. But as soon as Israel is mentioned, you become hysterical.
Check out your archive, and take a look at yourself.
