    That's an interesting perspective. Do you also appluad the courage of their political prisoners who don't mind having their organs harvested? Did Chernoble's victims have guts, or did the gov't not want to admit they fucked up?

    In case you forgot, China is a communist country with state-run media and more censorship than michael sims can dream about. If a space shuttle explodes and kills a few taikonauts then the launch never happened.
