Just because, they can watch MTV does not mean they have freedom

How about owning private property? How do you feel about that? You never did answer my question. Do they have more freedom today than they did 30 years ago, 20 years ago?

How do you feel about the hundreds of millions of Chinese whose lives have improved because of trade with the rest of the world? Would you rather they remained starving and have no hope for the future? Should they be forced to suffer even more because they were born into a totalitarian country? When you were taught to love your neighbor, did that mean just the people in the same town as you or can't you separate innocent people from the despots they're forced to live and labor under?

I'm sorry.

Yes, you most certainly are.
