It took me about 10 seconds to find this image on Google from the Tiananmen Square democratic protest back in 1989 in Beijing, China. But the image won't be accessible at all to media in China for the Olympic games, which is now a broken promise by Chinese officials to the International Olympic Committee.
So this is my exercise in protest. The Chinese government devalues free speech in the name of central power, authority, and order, but the opportunity to express one's opinions is the essence of human thought, the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and the entire point of reading people's blogs. In your own subtle or overt way, how can you best promote truth for the upcoming Olympic games?
