But is this better or worse? You don't have any political pressure, just the omnipresent, but hidden, economic forces that drive you to be nice. The threats may be minor, but the power is nontheless strong: there is a lot you can win or lose But because it's not a direct threat, journalists in western europe ask the fundamental questions you raised in your story less often...

Fresh from the university, what could one expect but theories and the value of hope driving the younghorn into passions of changin the world! Yet, i see this desire arising form the failure of the senior journalists to deliver what the calling of the profession had in the first place. If it did deliver the truth and all the ideals that it was meant to stand up for, would Uzbekistan still be under such tyranny? Would your countrymen still be in the shadows of unreality? What change could the senior journalists bring about when they question the very essence of a young individiuals desire for personal independence, prevailing truth, and the call or cry for freedom? I would describe the seniors to be so anesthetized. Recieving doses of unrealities, paraphrasing them into words of euphemism to describe the ugly realities. Making the unbearable bearable! Sadly, who can blame them when they live like puppets in a government who idolizes itself. How could change come about then? I believe change comes from within. Who will survive? Those who have the balls to call the shots of truth and those who are unafraid to show faces that become the epitome of change. Those who have the character consistently craving for the truth and for freedom. Turn to the youth, the hope of Uzbekistan... THE ONLY HOPE OF UZBEKISTAN!
