my heart just sank.
and when I saw September 30th in South Gotanda Park on the list my heart sank… to think that if I had read that post earlier, I could have made even the slightest difference makes me very disappointed in myself. please let me know if you come across anything else, I will keep a look out too, peace Rich, I don't think that I will ever miss another one of your posts again, knowing now that so much is at stake. thanks for all you do

@butt: You seriously need to go job hunting. The company you work for is circling the bowl, dude. Hopefully other schools are taking up the slack and are looking for new teachers.
I feel the same way. As a single person, I need to do all I can, even if all I can is miniscule. If my participation can help a protest in Tokyo make the news, I have to be there. If I can donate money to an organization that'll help the flow of information in and out of Burma, I have to give it. There's something about what's going on in Burma that compells me to do more than just watch. I don't know what it is.
