I write here today that I personally think that it is a very necessary consideration to make a full day of tribute to the lives of any person who is jailed against the will of humanity for his own "conspiracy" to undermine humanity with his words of liberty and life. This is not for those who say things such as "the holocaust never occurred". Those people can enjoy their happy days behind bars in some of the places such as Germany where such a topic is an affronto the human race in light of the clear evidence of the contrary in grounds that are still revolted by the actions of years gone by. No. This is for the dissident who is locked away in China. Perhaps he is locked away in the Former Soviet Union.
I do not know or could ever guess at the number of these persons but humanity can not ensure their insufferable treatment at the hands despotism. Lets make Cuba aware that the entire civilized world cares for the futures of the "saints" who spoke their mind that the "goverment" (in quotes becuase its a tyranny, not a government) closed the door to freedom of expression and speech upon.
May we all celebrate this crucial holiday in the future. Name a day, name a time. We need it. Its not a good society that does not speciallly note the suffering of a human being who was just doing what he felt to be human and orthodox.
Thanks.
