SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.
'If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get one million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.'

Vietnamese government jails internet dissident
A Vietnamese dissident has been jailed for four years. For what? For criticizing the Communist government and publishing it on the web. He was sentenced after a 1-day trial. Talk about swift "justice". Human rights. Freedom of expression. I wonder what those phrases mean in Vietnamese language.
