Such a sad period in history...

I have heard rumours of a documentary on the guy who stood in front of the tanks, has anyone seen it/heard of it? I would like to get hold of it if it can be found.

This actually happened when I was alive

Hmm - the Australian giovernment are going aout blocking just about everything: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/07/oz_link_ban/

And here in the UK we are going about logging every website and email. Furthermore they have the cheek to complain about Chinas censorship - at least the one party state is up front about it.

Thats freaky...considering this

The year of Tien-an-men was the year when the opposition won first free elections in Poland... the Berlin Wall has fallen to ashes...and nobody in the former Ostblock knew what would happen next
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they would never end... (Leningrad Cowboys playing The Turtles).
