¡Vive la Revolucion!

The demonstration against the already rolling domestic internet censorship-effort will begin in a couple of hours downtown.
I won’t attend. First of all, the flu is still raging (though fever is subsiding). And even more importantly I think that demonstrations organized at a time when most people ought to be at work are doomed to fail, since the people who have less than deadly serious opinions about the subject will choose the path of least resistance and stay at the office.
And I certainly hope that the news crews manage to find intelligent folks to interview, otherwise this exercise may take significant damage from ill-advised statements from attendees shrilled by excitement, but not understanding the big picture.
Yeah, there probably ought to be a picture of Che Guevara hunched over a laptop attached to this, but I can’t be bothered to look for one.
Added a new category - “censorship”, since it seems to be a common topic amongst the articles.
