Is that you behind the redhead or you with the Shrub T-shirt on? I'm assuming it isn't you with the tank top about to slip its clutch.

Great! The whole world is participating in the protests. There are reports of demonstrations all the way from Calcutta to New York City and many places in between, on every continent on this planet... I believe we are on the threshold of World War III and it is our duty to do our best to stop it. Whether we succeed or not, we don't know, but we have to try... At this time, the following words from a speech by the Late Ron Brown are relevant : "There are those who see anger and failure -- who see heroes martyred and dreams deferred -- and turn inward or give up. But, as Gandhi said, "in the midst of death, life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness, light persists." We cannot expect our work to be completed in a day, or in our lifetime. But that should not dim our ardor or sap our courage. In his final sermon, Martin Luther King, echoing Moses, preached: "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land." In our own hearts, and through the work of people like Gandhi and King, we too have seen the promised land. We may not reach it ourselves. But our work -- as people of conscience, as leaders of commerce, as activists and elected officials -- can carry our nations further down that path. Our presence here today testifies to the enduring power of the ideal we pursue."
