Hong Kong Students Rally for Democracy

There is a show of youthful defiance in Hong Kong this week, as thousands of students are skipping class for a week-long campus sit-in.

They are calling for wider democracy. That is the kind of government we have in the United States, with the leaders being chosen by the people in free elections - and those leaders then making decisions 'for' the people.
