The widespread protests by the Falun Gong at the Bush-Hu meeting this past week, dramatized by one particularly gutsy woman, raises a perplexing question as to just why they are perceived as such a threat to the Chinese Government. Well, you want answers, but you want me on that Chinese Wall, you need me on that Chinese Wall, to explain this Communist version of Code Red. I just hope you can handle the truth:

One of the more intriguing religions

Is that Chinese Falun Gong

It kinda’ looks like exercise

Much better workout than playing Mah Jongg

But why are these people persecuted?

Subjected to imprisonment, torture and rape?

I guess a society that worships Buddha

Must have something against staying in shape
