Free Tibet is a nothing but a Hyppies mantra to smoke pot. There's one thing for sure, Tibet will never be independent as long as China exists. Free Tibet, my ass. Ask a real Tibetan who lives in Tibet, not who've fled away and living in luxary in the West. It's a cute pretty slogan for them, which sounds serious but not really care. A real Tibetan living in Tibet will not say Free Tibet. Look at what China has brought to Tibet recently, beside modern necessities, the first railroad. Can you imagine how far Tibet will go with just that. I understand the human right, freedom of religion, tibetans are treated bad, blah blah blah, all that blame to the Chinese. Please do not repeat things which we've heard zillion of times. I personally think Tibet is better off with the Chinese (if you consider every factors), though I respect Dalai Lama very deeply and have nothing against him. No disrespect, I'm a Tibetan Buddhist myself. Tasi Delai
