The sound of freedom

I just finished a long conversation with a Christian man that works in IT here and spends his days trying to get around the firewall. I see a hero--when a country closes down its information flow it is for two reasons: political or religious persecution. In the case of Burma, it is both. This guy is right on the edge of bringing freedom here, in a different way that the rebel armies in the jungles. Case in point: I can post this blog courtesy of his tunnelling software. Let freedom ring. In this case it is the soft sound of a mouse click.
