CHINA has taken its suffocating censorship to a new level by erasing from an internet blog an image of the empty chair that highlighted the absence of Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel laureate, from the peace prize ceremony in Oslo.
The image was removed only a few minutes after a lone Chinese blogger posted it on a popular website in defiance of the authorities.

2. If they did, would you know.

Gonzales had 'other programs' and there are 'black' routing rooms at many tech companies.

Then again I heard that from the news, and would I know if that was 'managed'?

If they can't win the argument they will try to distract, including noise to make it tougher to know who is telling the truth.



And on a side note, when I say it does not make sense, that is from how most people see things.


If you believe in 'if you can take it, it is yours' then it makes perfect sense, I do know both sides of that perspective.


Making sense, requires postulations on behavior and reality. Most of that is how someone chooses to see things.
