I am sorry for beginning my state of the Union piece and then abandoning it for the moment. I had made plans to attend the Protest of the Olympics when the Torch relay arrives in San Fran tomorrow. It's been very chaotic since I arrived. I would like to comment on the recent events in London and Paris yesterday. The message that I hoped would be in the forefront about the atrocities carried out by China in Darfur and Tibet have been overshadowed by the few who attend the protest with the intention of violence. They are destroying the hopes of many here that know if those scenes are all that is shown on the news it defeats the entire thing! Protesting violence with violence makes no sense. As Ghandi said, "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind!" Those that are carrying out these acts are a very very small percentage of who attends. I know of no one or group that has come to San Fran to do anything but to take one of the only public chances Americans have of voicing outrage of China and it's actions! I will finish my SOTU(state of the union) piece soon. ALSO- I would like to start a campaign to have Pres. Bush arrested, yes, I said arrested, for crimes against humanity, if he attends (he has all ready RSVP)and sits next to a Chinese leader that has been directly involved in the massacre of 1oo's of thousands in Darfur and continues that at this moment along with his oppression of peoples in Tibet. IF he goes he should not be allowed back or should taken into custody to stand trial when Air-force one touches back down on American soil. Soil that was saturated with the blood of individuals who died so we could be free of those types of horrors that China is carrying out!
