I realized moments ago while reading the text of this episode of Common Sense with Paul Jacob that we really should stop calling crab rangoon as such, because as Mr. Jacob points out:

So, how does Burma shave away knowledge? By increasing taxes on satellite dishes!

Most Burmese get their news from satellite TV. Since the Burmese government does not allow a free press within the country, access to the free press outside the country vexes the current junta. So the rulers decided to rocket the cost of satellite dishes upwards, beyond reach of most citizens.

The renewal fee for licensing a satellite dish is now 1 million kyat — about $800. It used to be about five bucks (I’ll let you figure the kyat amount).
According to an article in The Irrawaddy, a news source covering Burma and Southeast Asia, the crackdown doesn’t stop there. Rangoon’s mayor, Brigadier General Aung Lin, is cutting down on the number of licenses for tea shops.

I can’t tell people not to eat crab rangoon because it is so good. However, to show our disapproval of the actions of Rangoon and Burma, we should probably just call it “freedom crab.”

Some may laugh at this, but when you think about it really hard, you realize that “freedom lattes,” “freedom fries,” and “freedom toast” got the French to elect the great Nicolas Sarkozy. Think what big stick diplomacy freedom crab could bring about.
