So what’s wrong with that? Man was meant to be free to make his own decisions (and that includes women). So why should we allow a government to make our decisions FOR us, any time? “Action star Jackie Chan's comments wondering whether Chinese people ‘need to be controlled’ have drawn sharp rebuke in his native Hong Kong and in Taiwan. Chan told a business forum in the southern Chinese province of Hainan that a free society may not be beneficial for China's authoritarian mainland. ‘I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not,’ Chan said Saturday. ‘I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.’ " So what? Does Chan allow anyone else to make HIS decisions for him? I don't think so. Since when do people “need” to be controlled by politicians and bureaucrats? This sounds like typical liberal thinking, to me. (Associated Press)
