After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. ...I just signed a petition calling on Burma's powerful ally China and the UN security council to step in and pressure Burma's rulers to stop the killing. The petition has exploded to over 200,000 signatures in a few days and is being advertised in newspapers around the world, delivered to the UN secretary general, and broadcast to the Burmese people by radio. We're trying to get to 1 million signatures this week, please sign below and tell everyone!
And now I've signed it and so should you. Here's the link: Stand With Burma.
Julian Piggot sent me a link to this fascinating documentary on Robert McNamara, former US Secretary of Defence, and President of the World Bank. Watch this and learn about the decision making process behind the firebombing of Japanese civilians during WW2, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. McNamara is an excellent speaker, a highly intelligent man and at some point he seems to have been involved in inventing the seat belt... He also clearly has a lot of blood on his hands. And I think he feels it too (though he won't admit it). Here's the link: The Fog of War. (Prego Jules)
And I found this game on BoingBoing and it's fun but pretty hard to do well. I played it as cynically as I could but just kept on bankrupting the company. I guess I'll never be a businessman. Play it online here: McDonald's Video Game.
