| | | Do Humans Need To Be Control, One Famous Human Being Says "Yes"
Jackie Chan says "Yes" that his people are better off being control. I agreed with Jackie in general for all humans, but to a certain level and in a totally different manner than Communist China. At least Mr. Chan is willing to see and acknowledge human sinfulness.
"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," Chan said. "I'm really confused now. If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic."

Yeah, it's easy for him to say that. When Jackie Chan gets tired of being controlled, he just spin-kicks everyone in his path.
