"Oh, ha! Sarcasm: The last refuge of sons of bitches!"

do what you can

There's really not much you can do about the crackdown in Burma, except give voice to your concern by putting pressure on the Chinese government to force the military junta to find a nonviolent solution. The 2008 Olympics and China's defensiveness about its poor human rights record is the lever. Do what you can by signing this petition.

I'm always amazed by the hope some people can summon in the face of overwhelming force. Courage is when you stand your ground, even as the police baton falls. When they keep beating against the walls of oppression with their bodies, sometimes the walls fall.
