    Are the Chinese Authorities in an infantile stage showing their insecurities at the expressions and opinions of its people triggers censorship? When a government is soo insecure that it needs to shut up human chatter then there is something profoundly wrong with the state of mind of its leaders. Could it be that the Chinese authorities are much aware of their fragile nature of power and their disrespect for basic human rights?

    Remember the Kent State Massacre on May 4, 1970. 4 protesters were killed and 16 people injured...shot by National Guard troops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
