This has been a bad twenty-four hours for all of us.

[CubsFan1982]

The day is filled with bad news. The deaths of our British brethren yesterday morning in a cowardly and despicable act. The leaking that yet another Supreme Court retirement is imminent. And of course, the death of a beloved compatriot after a valiant battle.

We grieve for our friends in London. We mourn Andy's passing and celebrate his life. But we rise to fight the forces of reaction once again.

We are bowed, but not broken. We will best honor our friends in the United Kingdom by continuing to fight against the immoral and unjust war that brought death and destruction to their shores. We will best honor the memory of Andy Stephenson by continuing his fight against a corrupt and immoral Presidency.

That is all we can do. That is the least we owe the people who have left us today.

4. honeslty, when im down like this, nothing makes me feel

better than sedition. today, as well as many other days this summer thus far have made me feel completley useless among other things. its these times where one needs a cause. and i find that through fighting the injustices that be. if theres one thing that the world will never run out of its injustice.

i think tomorrow ill be spending alot of time in the activisim HQ.

:toast: that one's for Andy.
:toast: that one's for the lounge, and DU in general. (thanks for giving me a place to show my dissent.)
:toast: and that one's for me. cause damn i need a stress reliever.

5. There is always light, when it seems the darkest....

...when I'm feeling down, like today, this picture always seems to put a little smile on my face, or at least, pick me up a bit. In fact, it inspires me...
