Sean's Free Tibet Speech
June 15th, 1998I also have a deep concern with Tibet I did a project this year and looked at all the things that have happened to Tibet . Most of the stuff that happens is unimaginable . Like shocking them with cattle prods and arresting them for praying . I did a very informative project so if you need to know anything just email me -Amanda David Crosby of Crosby, Stills & Nash performed one of his songs where Sean Lennon probably felt fortunate to be able to play along side a man who like his father sang songs in a period of time of war when peace was much desired and sung about....After the song concludes and a brief hug by David Crosby, Sean gave a small speech which includes the following...... "Lets stop being controlled and take control ourselves....China occupying Tibet is like Germany occupying France during the II World War....The Forceful occupation of one country by another was wrong then and it's wrong now.""the American people have the power to decide the policies of their government, we need only unite our voices and views.....we cannot allow Bill Clinton to ignor Tibet anymore." "As many first world countries have developed their economy and their technology, Tibet has been developing its Spirituality, that spirit must be preserved. Once it is gone it'll be gone forever." "We can't let the Tibetan culture disappear like so many cultures have under the hands of larger and more powerful nations................America and the countries in the U.N. must not let China continue its agressive occupation. "Ghandi said, 'an eye for an eye just makes everybody blind' and there must be no violence in response to the violence committed by the Chinese government but China and Tibet must negotiate peacefully." It's not only in the interest of Tibetans that tibet is freed...its in the best interest of China and the entire world.... all countries reserve the right to self determination and Tibet shouldn't be an exception!"...
