If you permit me to clarify on my photo: the people weren't really happy, they were opposition candidate supporters in rigged elections, and the shot was taken during post-election protest. They are laughing to sarcastic comment by one of the speakers. By the end of week that followed, hundreds of them were arrested.

thanks for posting these photos, it is sad to see that in 21th century there are so much differences among humans. Unfortunately animals do not have this problem this much, since they do not store wealth. only this comes from humans' ability to think and you know what this is the maximum thing they can do, can a human think more than himself !?
