This is a moving protest.
Toronto.
7,000 Tamil Protesters.
Blocking the Gardiner over night.
Are we listening? We drove them there. Maybe it's about time we started learning more about what's going on in Sri Lanka?
2,000 civilians have been killed in the past 24hrs?
What is going on!
The only way we will make the world a better place is if we all started listening a little bit more.
There are a lot of sirens going tonight... unrelated incidents I'm sure. Just ironic.

Just keeping it simple. I figured no one would have appreciated a long lecture on the political situation of Sri Lanka.
I hope it piqued your interest? - madd hattere 10:17 AM

As Wittgenstien once said. "Skepticism is not deep, it's shallow and the bottom is merely painted black."
A friend of mine posted a comment today about how life on the Gardener was disrupted for them because of the staged action.
This sort of sentiment is essentially the problem with humanity right now.
Our problems are accessibility are what we feel most when they are removed.
We as North American's have become swine like in our inability to act upon these sorts of injustices. From our lazy boy's we comment on how these news reports are so sad, the next day the stories might be repeated around a water cooler, and we feel as if we have done something.
To stop traffic, that is an action, to disrupt someones life and make them bitch about it, that is an action.
North America is only goaded into freedom because the little snacks we are fed. We are willing to accept them until they are taken away, than we have something to bitch about.
But if we are not careful, we too might be the ones who need to stop the traffic of the world.
Great Karma cake to chew on.
