...brown paper and risks another lengthy prison term for circulating. I reread it one afternoon in my hotel room with the curtains drawn, emerging hours later to discover that two military-intelligence agents were harassing the staff about my identity and movements. Their timing was unnerving. Orwell's "Hate Week" parades have a modern Burmese equivalent. Mass rallies had been staged at stadiums nationwide to support a "road map" to democracy launched by Khin Nyunt, one of Burma's ruling troika of generals, just weeks after U.S. sanctions were announced.

The government can eat away at your life with payroll taxes, but because they are usually deducted before you get to see your paycheck, you don't notice. But the price of gas is broadcast on big placards across the country. When it goes up, eyebrows rise a notch. But that's a good thing! The government has to tax you somehow.
