This is going to by me First blog...and its not going to be about the Knicks or basketball. It is not going to be about ANY sports. So if you are expecting a sport blog right now than just leave, no one is forcing you to read this, and than say "This is a sport site, and not a politc site".
When I was taking a shower this morning...I was thinking about the Olympics after I read some olympic TD. On what happened to Tibet.(i was thinking this since clicked on one user the day before, and she/he had almost all of her/he TD on the olympics).
Right Before the Olmypics, everyone remembers how everyone was protesting how China was treating Tibet. Tibet wanted to be a free country, and most of the world supported it. During the torch cermony the carrier almost got tackled to the ground as a protest. Tibet was on the news almost everyday. After the Olympics started, the news on Tibet started getting less and less. Bolt and Phelps were more intresting, and you saw them on the news more and more.
When I think about After the Olympics how many times have we heard about Tibet?
What happened to the people who wanted to be free, and wanted to be treated equally?
What happened to ALL the supporters of Tibet who almost got arrested? Don't they care anymore?
What happened to all the Monks in Tibet?
Than I was thinking about China (Tibet is in China for those who don't know)...hardly anyone knows that much about them. They keep most thing under the belt so no one knows the bad things they do. It is like Dubia... my friend lives there and says all the things their government doesn't want us and the world to know.
They are cannibals in Dubai and murders are everywhere there. They might have more crimes than A LOT of American cities. Their are also many, many gangs over there. Think about Indian and Pakistian gangs! (I couldn't imagine) Also did you know that many of the nice buldings they are making are empty! We went to one of the buildings, and there was only three offices in the whole 20 story building! Why doesn't their government want us to know this? Since we would be scared, and wouldn't go their.
Just like Dubai; maybe China was the same way, but they covered everything up. Right now I wonder what is happening to all the people who live in China, and were protesting. They don't have the media to protect them.
Will Tibet ever get free?
So next time you turn on the news... try to remember the things that happened that were REALLY important, and think when was the last time you heard it on the news.

You continue to surprise us Knicks09. Well, done.
And this is actually very appropriate material for this site - given the Olympics tie-in AND given that's its the day after the U.S. has elected its next president and politics are on everyone's mind.
Keep up the good work.

Yes, I concur YODA, very timely and also thought provoking. We are seeing our young Knicks lad's multi-dimentional traits developing before our eyes.
Now if only he would discover Hockey!

Well, we know he's already familiar with Madison Square Garden...
So maybe there is hope.

An interesting and thoughtful piece. Of course there are those who still care about Tibet, but inevitably the publicity has died down now that the impetus provided by the Olympics is over.
Good job, Knicks.

Just saw in Wiki that there is a lacrosse team in MSG!

That's not quite the same as hockey Knicks, however I suppose its roots are Canadian so you are certainly headed in the right direction. Perhaps you could visit MSG in the winter and see if there is anything going on there...but stay out of LONG ISLAND...yes definately stay out of there.

To be fair, Baun-ded... lacrosse was founded not by Canadians but by the Iroquois, whose ancestral homes cover territory along what is now the U.S.-Canada border...
... and now to the topic at hand. The first futile struggles by a formerly-peaceful people to remain free and sovereign fell flat back in the late 1950s... and just as the international community largely ignored the plight of the Tibetan then, so too do we largely neglect their suffering (and the sufferings of disenfranchised people across the world) as we seek out stories which come with less baggage.
Thank you, Knicks, for a great post. While some grammatical errors are spattered throughout (I think you meant to say Dubai rather than "Dubia"), the message rings clear in this piece. I look forward to more work from this burgeoning author, and if you ever need help with anything -- editing, formatting or just a friendly voice who might have a good stat to burnish your post -- just let me know... I am always glad to help upstarts here at FanNation...

Bigalke...He already has my FM address so he can contact me directly so it would be redundant of you to supply him with it again...sheeesh.
Besides, Iroquois are considered Canadian Indians!

Great start Knicks. Next time (as previously mentioned) try to be slightly more aware of grammatical errors and the syntax of your sentences.

Yes, you can click the 'Edit Post' feature at the top of your blog. It's located in the middle of the row (in grey font) beside the view and comment counter.
