Throwing out with the Lunar New Year

A custom for the Chinese Lunar New Year is to throw out the old and bring in the new. Old furnishings and clothes are tossed out, or sold on with fresh new hear to replace them.
The fledgling and often hilarious democratic movement in Hong Kong probably have and idea of what they would like to throw out. But it seems the Hong Kong people are not so active in this area as the people in Tunisia or Egypt.
There is not enough time left after clearing their houses to take to the streets to protest. The roads here are filled with people to busy stocking up with brand new replacement of what they have just thrown away.
