Is Tibetan culture worth preserving?

Read any books lately?

I don't know, I imagine some people do.

It's called democracy, which allows for freedom of speech. Maybe not a familiar concept to you.

Sign it or don't sign it I really don't care what you do.

Everytime I run over a squirrel I think of you.
