I think Ross
Mirkarimi, the 5th District Supervisor in San Francisco was the only
elected Politician that I saw speak at the kickoff rally for San
Francisco's
Peace March on Saturday September 24th. (I'm told that Barbara Lee
spoke at the rally in Washington DC, and had a representative
read the same speech here.) Answering the question "Why are
you here", he said that feeling the way he does about this war and this
administration, he had a moral obligation to be there. He wasn't the
only one. See my pictures of his fellow travelers by clicking somewhere
in his picture above.
I wasn't going
to go to Burning Man this year. Seeing my friends getting ready
for it, I had to dredge through past burned men. (Click below for those
pictures.) Then somebody called and said they had left their ticket
behind by accident, and did I want it? I went up the Thursday
afternoon before Labor Day... Click above to see what I saw.
