tee fribet or double ten day

Cheerleaders for political dissidents are rather few and far between, and sometimes their advocates have themselves been overwhelmed by potential and promise or provocation, rather than working to honor and perhaps effect change. I believed, until researching the matter further, that the latter was another example of the former, provocation, an excuse that might become the trigger for an unabashed currency war. This choice, however, was not some everyman representative of countless unnamed others nor an abstract encouragement, but a real lifetime and career dedicated to change, whose work is even acknowledged by recent honorees. Redirecting one’s gaze, in the general and specific sense, can garner impetus, and is a stance well taken.
