so the war has started.

It seems a lot of people are not fully informed about the intentiions. To show aggression? To show that we\’re not weak? To show that we\’re as evil as Sadaam thinks we are?

stop acting like 5 year olds. where\’s their mommy when you need her?

Berkeley has been very apathetic, but I may see myself in participating in something today. There is definitely going to be a PROTEST in sproul plaza. And perhaps, people will walk out of class.

In fact, my GSI from last semester has officially invited all of us to go \”get arrested\”:
Tomorrow I am going to San Francisco to help block an intersection, in an effort to shut the city down. I will probably be arrested. On this first day of war the stock market is rising. The ordinary lives we lead are part of an economy that thrives on bloodshed and the poverty of people all over the world. Like the Germans in World War II, we keep that economy going by ignoring the violence behind it. I am no longer willing to be a good German and keep quiet.

Jason has decided he can\’t go about his business as usual on Thursday, March 20.
