但是，又想請問：穿睡衣上街犯了哪條法？又不是裸奔(裸奔也未必犯法)。假使真的穿睡衣上街，難道要被拘留嗎？世博會期間不准穿，是怕給外國人看到，覺得丟人嗎？

為什麼環境污染得這個樣子倒不覺得怎麼丟人呢？為什麼好好的Facebook、Picasa等網站都上不去了，這丟不丟人啊？社會的種種不公平腐敗和貧富懸殊怎麼不丟人呢？

Countless questions about today’s China boil down to: How long can this go on? How long can the industrial growth continue before the natural environment is destroyed? How long can the super-rich get richer, without the poor getting mad? And so on through a familiar list. The Great Firewall poses the question in another form: How long can the regime control what people are allowed to know, without the people caring enough to object? On current evidence, for quite a while.
