Tibet is a metaphor

I went to a reading last night by Thomas Laird from his new book The Story of Tibet at the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota.
It was highly informative and I urge everyone to read about the plight of Tibet.

Here in North America, we have displaced and destroyed a different indigenous culture, and we feel guilty about it. So not only should we fight for Native American rights, but we should fight for any culture that is being destroyed by a huge superpower. If we allow one person to go unfed, everyone will starve.
