A Thai reader emails:

Thanks for the updates. Country seems to have gone insane. I’m in NYC now, and protested at the Thai Consul over the cancelation of elections yesterday. From the reaction in Bangkok, I’m starting to feel that Thai people don’t deserve democracy. Only people that fight for their rights deserve to have those rights. Keep the posts up!

What can I say? I’m not exactly out on the streets trading sharp words for M-16 rounds. In fact, I’ve cowardly refrained from posting in Thai. That self-censorship will end soon, though. If they want to me to part with my freedom of speech, they’ll have to come and take it away themselves.
