Two years ago to the day, the United States starting major combat operations in Iraq. To mark the occasion, protests are taking place around the world and in the U.S., including San Francisco. I'm not joining the protesters in San Francisco, mainly because of having to get stuff done, but also because I really don't like International ANSWER. I don't understand how they got to own the modern-day antiwar movement, especially because they aren't particularly cooperative or peaceful themselves.
But there are going to be quiet candlelight vigils tonight, including one on the corner of Piedmont and 41st tonight at 6:30 in Oakland. I can get behind that (to misquote William Shatner.)
