		<description><![CDATA[Nneka, singing Heartbeat. So beautiful and impassioned, it leaves you speechless. This is the kind of authenticity that MTV and the like spend billions trying to imitate; they never succeed, but inevitably dilute the art in the process. This is heartfelt; a call for justice, recognition of our shared humanity and solidarity on a personal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=1710&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Surely the Tibetans are the latest of many brave peoples to rebel [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=1509&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
