Born in the wrong place
Al Jazeera's Asia Blog tells the David and Goliath story of Yang Youde, a farmer who decided to fight off land eviction teams with his homemade cannon (if I can link the CBC, I can link Al Jazeera).
The spirit of Robert Heinlein is strong in this one. If more Canadians were like Yang Youde, we might enjoy the freedom of speech and expression they do in mainland China.
Hell, we might still be able to buy clove cigarettes and smoke them in public.
