June 3rd...Tienanmen Square

We examine the year 1989 and Tiananmen Square.
With the recent protests that have been going on the world over, I thought I would take a moment and talk about another protest that demanded change. If i have learned nothing else from the events that have unfolded it is that we as a people need to be better. Police need to be better, governments need to be better, looters and rioters need to be better, we all need to be better.
