Odds ‘n Sods:

You might have noticed that the former “Free Tibet” movement has quietly morphed into to the “Save Tibet” movement. I suppose that the word “Free” sounded too much like an active verb for those in the Kumbaya crowd…. I find that pitiful. Some of us still support the Khampas and their tactics. (Yes, there are still a few of them, stalwartly soldiering on. Sort of like The Forest Brotherhood, but without as much forest.)
