The United STATES is composed of 50 individual seperate entities, no more or less independent from each other as HK is from Bejing. Canada a foreign country from the US on our Northern boarder has essentially no passport requirements to cross that boarder, proof of citizenship is sufficient (birth certificate, naturalization papers. You see TJ what you perceive as freedom is not what we perceive. I do not need permission to travel anywhere on the North American Continent. Even Mexico has an open boarder that I can drive across, with only the need of proof of citizenship. Economically HK is seperate from Mainland China only because it is advantageos for China to maintain the British Build economic base that exists in HK. When and if China catches up to that economic base the freedoms that HK enjoys will cease. BTW I don't read the NYT, nor the WSJ, Nor the WP nor the NR. You are insinuating I am a liberal. I happen to be very mainstream with a strong predilection towards conservative views economically and libertarian views when it comes to social mores. I just am not an idiot about it. r
