  I just had to say something about the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests/massacre. I've looked at the picture of the guy standing in front of the tanks hundreds of times over the years, in fact when I say "Tiananmen Square" it is the image that will pop into most peoples heads. If an image pops in at all. I was kind of suprised in talking to people around school today that some had no clue what Tiananmen Square was all about, and this is something that is huge news that happened during our lifetime.
I'd devote at least 5 minutes and a quick Google search if you don't know anything, or even much about it. But I look at the photo which has to be one of the greatest and most expressive of the last century, and it just inspires the hell out of me. The lone guy, nothing but two bags of groceries in his arms, standing there balls to the wall staring down three tanks, because of a belief.
Someone who is willing to die for their cause cannot be defeated. It's the struggle that makes the eventual success great. I don't really know if I have an ideology that I'd be willing to die for, but in this country we already have it so good, there isn't the urgency like in China. In any event though I gotta give props to the dude, who is to this day unidentified, read more about that urlLink here. If I don't check in on this busy weekend, have a good one!
