Tyrants

George Bush the Elder and his aristocratic wife, Barbara, heir to a media fortune, celebrated the Thailand King's birthday in Thailand this week. The Thai King, educated at Harvard University, subverted the democratically elected government of his country recently and supported a military coup, which still holds power. The American corporate-owned press has neglected this abuse of democracy for obvious reasons. Tyrants still roam freely on this planet. They feast at elaborate ceremonies together. They are lauded. Books are published which hail them as exemplary human beings. And, obviously from this birthday in Thailand, they all stick together. My practice entails resisting the tyranny of the few and of the many.
