"I believe that a form of cultural genocide has taken place in Tibet, where the Tibetan identity has been under constant attack. Tibetans have been reduced to an insignificant minority in their own land as a result of the huge transfer of non-Tibetans into Tibet. The distinctive Tibetan cultural heritage with its characteristic language, customs and traditions is fading away. Instead of working to unify its nationalities, the Chinese government discriminates against these minority nationalities, the Tibetans among them." His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. I know that if I walked into the Flying J here in Russellville, AR, that little or no one would know who this man is, what China is doing or what his mission is. I've always said that being a truck driver is no excuse for ignorance. Arkansas is the home of Wal-Mart, which imports thousands of cheap products from China, a Communist country that is masquerading as a capitalist society. It is not. Our government, which invaded one country with an oppressive leader, chooses to do trade with another, with little regard for human rights. To learn more go to: http://www.dalailama.com/
