Little by little, earth's people break dictatorial chains, shattering fear's silence.
Brave Tibetans rebelled this week, protesting China's iron rule.
Communist China took over Tibet in 1950. Since then they have tried in every possible way to violently destroy Tibetan culture.
Now, and for what seems forever, humans have expressed their want for the freedom to think, act and to express themselves without the fear of being crushed by iron-fisted leaders.
It's as though each of us senses that our individual unique qualities flourish more fully when we're free.
While the global journey to freedom has been slow, one wonders now if the internet might speed the slow yet steady progress.
That, too, may happen at snail speed.
China - with 210 million internet users as of Jan. 21, 2008 - cracked down on dissent blogging several years ago. Government monitoring officials were stationed throughout the country, cutting off dissenting cyberspace communicators while those following the Chinese leadership line write as they please.
During the past few days, according to world news reports, many Chinese bloggers ranted at rebelling Tibetans. A Reuters news report mentioned Chinese controlled media; however the report failed to mention how Chinese bloggers are monitored.
Elsewhere in cyberspace -
Terrorists recruit followers and post propaganda via internet.
Still, there's hope as more and more folks all over the world gain access to cyberspace.
Bloggers who treasure freedom - and take the time to talk of it via cyberspace - might - just might - hasten its spread.
