The convicted man said much the same as Wen Jiabao said during his famous interview with CNN recently. Is the Chinese Premier in jail? What is the matter with China? Has it gone mad again?
Will we revisit Tienanmen again and see brutality in Beijing streets again? Will the China Daily publish this letter? How open is Wen's China?

I nominate Premier Wen Jiabao for Nobel Peace Prize
I nominate Premier Wen Jiabao for doing more for world peace than anyone else on earth.
Mr Wen is a man of peace. I have been to China six times since 2004 and with each stay I have become more impressed by
Wen Jiabao. His touch with ordinary Chinese marks him as a special human.
I wish the world knew more of this remarkable man.
I am 6th generation Australian. I wrote my thesis on Mao Zhu Xi in 1968.
To me, Wen ranks up there with Mao.

Poor Miss Ritchie can't act
Poor Miss Ritchie can't act. She was a cute kid in Summer Bay. Then she grew up and everyone realised the cute kid can't act. She still can't act. I could see how the show was drifting, with more and more characters taking up more and more screen time and poor Miss Ritchie was just about side-lined.

The horrors of war serve to connect her with war and to soften the sense of betrayal.
Talking with strangers can be so palliatively palliative. Catholics do it with strange priests and people on planes yak sometimes to each other when the mood strikes. I have never been to a hairdresser... Been cutting my own hair for 40 years ... Yes. It certainly shows!
The horror syndrome catches up with its prey in all cases and ***** will be having her share of the horrors. They manifest themselves in both familiar and strange manner, and no one seems to have the all-encompassing method for alleviating the horrors...all we have are palliatives and maybe a few more hairdressers are what ***** may need ... at even the most ludicrous of times...like pregnancy demanding sugar at the odd hours of the night!
I know that many soldiers retreat from civilian life... I have been in both the navy and the army and I have that awkward contempt for the way civilians fuck things up. There is a gulf that returning soldiers must jump if there is to be a connection with civilian life. It's the job of you two and *****' friends to absorb as much of her horror without being patronising. Then she can connect without that sense of betraying her fellow soldiers who remain in the field. The horrors serve to connect her with war and to soften the sense of betrayal.
Returning soldiers suffer the break from their war; it's withdrawal symptoms resemble the melancholy of the drug addict's withdrawal. They must be reassured that they have done their duty and that the nation supports them and their fellow soldiers who remain in the field. This is what civilians do not understand:
***** has undergone a double whammy of duty... To be there and to experience the results of being there...to be at war! She has seen the tragedy at its most solemn and its impact will be indelible.
I feel for you blokes now.

We who act as whores are strays of society
What's wrong with you? KAK is absolutely right ... spot on! The way you people write, you'd think that women have no libido. Men and women are whores and there's nothing wrong with that. It's our nature. If KAK wishes to accurately describe some of us as strays then that is what we are ... strays. We stray from the path of sensible behaviour and if our whorish nature takes over then we act as strays. So be it.

NSW Police use Tasers and Capsicum Spray as 'punishment'
A recent report on police use of Tasers and capsicum spray indicated that police use these instruments as 'punishment'. I thought that punishment was the sole prerogative of the courts. So many of us ordinary blokes have witnessed police 'over-kill' where it is so obvious the police are not trained in dealing with human beings.
