i am currently of two completely different minds, so today will require two different blogs.

#1 Went to the peace march downtown today with a bunch of friends and was really proud and amazed by the number of people who showed up. Early estimates are posting it at something near 40,000. It felt really good to be there, to be with people who aren't just totally into wallowing in their own shit and instead want to look up and see how they can be or do something more. I've been going to peace marches and rallies since long before I could walk, and thus know by heart all the chants and songs, and I swear the combined passion of all of those people must be enough to reach SOMEONE, or so I hope.And it's good to hang out with people who understand why thinking about war brings tears to your eyes, and who you can hold hands and sway with while you sing Imagine.
