There was a table with a guy pushing copies of this book and handing out these stickers. He was saying he was "a former military intelligence officer in the US Army." I would say he felt like getting the word out is VERY IMPORTANT.

     

One of the last speakers was Ross Mirkarimi, 5th District Supervisor. He talked about all the press he had gotten for his proposal to lower the flag over San Francisco City Hall to half mast for the day, in honor of all the fallen in Iraq. The Board of Supervisors had unanimously voted for the initiative, but the Mayor had declined to implement it "because he wanted to listen to the President", who hadn't asked to do it. I'm told the story had even reached the International press.

I got this bracelet from the ANSWER coalition booth. I'm waiting for someone to ask me what time it is, so I can show them my bracelet and say "time to stop the war."

  

By this time the battery in my camera was so dead that I'd have to let it rest for at least ten to twenty minutes between shots to get any at all. There was MUCH more I could have shown you, but my equipment didn't have it to give.

    

Christina was a bright spot in the afternoon for sure. She remembered talking to me at some other event, maybe the Michael Franti concert in the Golden Gate Park a year or two ago.
