...and China is still killing monks and nuns in Tibet, and America is still imprisoning theirs.

This is where the American power structure is very shrewd. Rather than murder people they do not agree with, they prefer to hide them all away in prison via the criminalization of what these people, whom they do not like, love the most, and rely on for spiritual salvation: weed. This way they can make money by imprisoning their enemies rather than killing them off in the streets and having to foot the bill for clean-up.

Personally, I am ashamed at how little I do to stand up to our own fascist regime. These monks have great courage, and they do not even think twice about walking into a bullet for the sake of truth and compassion. I am very ashamed that I am more concerned with personal survival than dismantling the American Death Machine, which is the brain of and responsible for all of the other major and minor death machines around the world.
