I am by no means Buddhist. I am, however, largely interested in the behavior of China over the last few years. They've been very restrictive of Christianity and the flow of digital information in and out of their country. They've now gone so far as to ban "Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission".

HELLO!!! LOL

The powers-that-be want control of every aspect of life in their nation in order to preserve the absurd communism their government holds so dear. Next they are going to try to make God have a passport in order to enter China. Good luck with that.

It is only a matter of time before the people of the nation realize, like the majority of the denizens of A Bug's Life, that they far outnumber and out-opinion their stifling regime.

It is overdue. It is time to divide. The unification of the eyebrows is at an end. I can't tell if age is making my monobrow more "aggressive", or if my perception of it has increased in recent times, but I've come to the conclusion that it is time to take action. I'm evicting the bridge manually one-by-one.

I will make it into a game instead of a chore. I'll remove one hair at a time until someone notices "Hey! Your monobrow's gone!". I'll smile and secretly know that they were an unwitting contestant in Who's Single Eyebrow Was It, Anyway?, in which there are no prizes to be won. After the game show is over, I'll simply realize that my eyebrow had vanished during the show. It will be like magic. *POOF*

I will regret leaving the long-loved family of monobrows like Bert (pictured), Colin Ferrell, Salma Hayek, Matisyahu, Matthew McConaughey, Frank Zappa, John Kerry, and George W. Bush. Some have chosen to live out their lives as dual-browed individuals, and I will try it out as well.

I expect life on the other side of the hedge to be the same as it is now, although perhaps a smidge cooler.
