People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Forever Bicycles
A woman looks at an "art installation" named "Forever Bicycles" by artist Ai Weiwei during a media preview of the "Ai Weiwei Absent" exhibition
at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. The exhibition features 21 sets of Ai's works, including installation pieces, photography, sculpture, and videos.
In addition to being a world-famous artist, Ai Weiwei is an outspoken critic of tyranny in China --- which places him squarely on the Chinese
government's Enemies List. My kind of guy. Here's a recent article, and a link to other photos of Ai and his work.

Next time, Fancy-Pants, how 'bout we sever the muscles in your neck,
and let the bull "go for the kill". I'd like to watch that.
