    2014 – the year things really started to accelerate.

    It’s incredible how it appears that some Hong Kongers are willing to eat their own young.

    They say they are for democracy/universal suffrage and don’t agree with the Umbrella Movement approach; stand on the sidelines berating the young people, yet can’t propose a viable alternative - and can’t seem to see what the end-game is.

    Taking a good thing and throwing it away with both hands.

    Sorry to be so morose - sometimes I just despair.

    And only because people in HK started saying hey wait a minute this isn't what we agreeeedd...

    Maybe we could call it the Quicksand Effect.

    Yet somehow when enough umbrellas come together they seem to have a strange gravity-defying powers.

    Baptist University Vice-Chancellor Albert Chan refused to hand a graduating certificate to a student holding a yellow umbrella.

    Does he think his political views are better than the students?

    Oh dear...

    He should be fired regardless of blue or yellow or pink. Universities should not be telling students what to think only how to think...
