Spielberg i commend you

Spielberg gets a Medal of Humanitarian, the second highest medal you can get here (Medal of Honour being the first). Anyway Spielberg has stepped down his role as an artistic adviser to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing as it conflicts with his consciousness. As many people don't know China is one of the worst countries when it comes to Human rights .One of them being Tibet which is still being oppressed by the Chinese government. However Spielberg’s reason to leave was because of the situation in Sudan. Sudan holds a large oil reserve which two thirds are sold to China in exchange of weapons. Why is this a problem? The Sudanese government have been using these weapons to commit horrendous crimes especially in Darfur. Already 200,000 people have dies in five years and 2 million have been misplaced. I will tell you oil will make people do crazy things. The day it runs out I think there is going to be major depression around the world and we are going to see some Prozac addicts .Anyway well done Spielberg I know all country's have problems but China's tends to get away with a lot of things because they are on of the worlds biggest manufacturer of goods and no one wants to piss them of just in case they wont get they favourite made in China merchandise (which by the way is probably made with very cheap labour)
